During the recent program Capcom NextKoshi Nakanishi, director of the company, confirmed something that was already assumed, but that until then was mere speculation, and that is that they are already developing a next large-scale Resident Evil game, which means that it will not be a simple remake, but an original concept.
Nakanishi himself will be in charge of directing this new title following doing his work with Resident Evil 7. In the broadcast, the director mentioned that it was difficult to know what to do following that title, but that he finally found what to do and assures that it is something “substantial.”
“I can’t share any details yet, but I hope you’re excited for the day when I can do it,” Koshi Nakanishi said.
In case you’re unfamiliar with his work, Nakanishi is a Capcom veteran, having worked on the franchise since Resident Evil 5 came out in 2009. Resident Evil 7 is often regarded as one of the best games in the series, and marks the point where the franchise took a considerable turn, adopting a first-person perspective and more horror-based themes than ever before. For some, it left the core tenets of the series behind, but as a game, it was truly acclaimed by critics and audiences.
The last mainline game in the franchise, Resident Evil Village, introduced players to a larger map to explore; Nakanishi’s comments regarding the next game being more substantial might indicate that an even larger environment will be introduced in whatever game comes next.
For a few months now, various rumors have been circulating that Resident Evil 9 might be released in early 2025.
