Resident Evil 9: the game already in development? An insider drops his first news

Always well informed when it comes to Resident Evil, the AestheticGamer insider is categorical: the development of Resident Evil 9 has already started at Capcom. This is indeed what he declares on Twitter, even specifying that at one point, Resident Evil 2 Remake, Resident Evil 3 Remake, Resident Evil 8, Resident Evil Outrage (supposed to be released in a year as a temporary exclusive on Nintendo Switch), Resident Evil 4 Remake and Resident Evil 9 were all being designed at the end of 2018. A news that may cringe some purists, the latter fearing that this annual rhythm imposed on the series will end up ruining it.

Wait until you find out that there was a period of time that RE: 2, RE: 3, RE8, Outrage, RE: 4 & RE9 were all in development at the exact same time (late 2018). https://t.co/UMzFRSK7mt

“Don’t expect to see it anytime soon, specifies the one who also calls himself Dusk Golem. I don’t think it will be released until 2024. For the moment, there is no point in talking about it, especially since anything can happen during its development. For example, teams could decide to start from scratch (this has happened several times in the history of the license).“If AestheticGamer is true, Resident Evil 9 would then be in the pre-production phase. In the meantime, Capcom would have the possibility of unsheathing the remake of Resident Evil 4 whose development has been massively confirmed without its formalization having taken place yet .

Yes, but don’t expect it anytime soon. I literally cannot see it releasing before 2024. To the point it’s actually not worth even talking about right now, anything could happen to it in dev, from the whole thing being rebooted (it’s happened a lot in the RE series). https://t.co/mKCUFEgTNH
