Then came Resident Evil Village, or VIII which provided fans with an even better combination of action and horror. That game continued on the steps of VII by being immensely successful. Fans loved it so much that it appears Capcom is eager to continue too.

Reports say fans will soon see Resident Evil 9 announced. They also say that this game would have Chris Redfield in a very important role, probably even as the protagonist. Gameplay-wise, it is said to be a mashup of Resident Evil Village and Resident Evil 4 Remake.

In terms of story, it is said to follow the events of RE Village very closely, and it would be set in yet another European castle-like environment. It is also being said that this yet-to-be-announced title would feature a bunch of mythical characters, but like any other game in the series, those creatures would have a scientific explanation for their existence.
