The news came during Capcom’s NEXT showcase, where the developer simply stated, “We’re making a new Resident Evil.” This phrasing leaves some ambiguity as to whether this is a brand new installment in the numbered series (Resident Evil 9) or a remake of a past title. Regardless, with Resident Evil 7 director Koshi Nakanishi at the helm, fans can expect a terrifying and potentially innovative experience.
Details about the game’s plot, characters, and setting are still under wraps. However, considering Nakanishi’s past work, a return to a more first-person perspective or a focus on psychological horror wouldn’t be out of the question.
In the coming months, we can expect Capcom to reveal more information about this exciting new Resident Evil project. Stay tuned for updates and prepare to be scared!
