Resident Evil, Capcom's flagship franchise, has been under the spotlight in recent weeks due to a series of rumors surrounding its next installment. Fans are eagerly awaiting news, and while the Japanese company prepares for the announcements, one of the most reliable sources has revealed an important detail.
Resident Evil 9 is rumored to take place in a rural area inspired by Asia
Anticipation for what we unofficially know as Resident Evil 9 is high, and details are gradually emerging from members of the community who have proven to be reputable informants. Dusk Golem, the most prominent among them, revealed details about the location of this new installment. According to the insider, the new Resident Evil will take place in a fictional rural settlement in Southeast Asia inspired by Singapore, so the franchise will move towards that area in terms of story, scenery design, and aesthetics.
According to recent reports, Capcom will soon unveil Resident Evil 9, and it's expected that this installment will mark the beginning of a new arc, leaving behind the story of Ethan Winters. Rumors suggest that this installment could have open-world elements, but there's nothing concrete at the moment, a detail that has divided fan opinions as the IP has never ventured into those territories.
On the other hand, Capcom has shown interest in more remakes of past installments and mentioned to investors that they will continue with such relaunches. Some think the logical step would be to remake Resident Evil 5, but others point out that Resident Evil Code: Veronica deserves a remake as it is one of the forgotten entries in the saga.
