During the Capcom Next digital show, Capcom confirmed what we knew all along, and that's a new Resident Evil game is in development!

“This was confirmed by game director Koshi Nakanishi during the show’s ending segment:”

So Resident Evil 7s director returns for 9. Sounds good to me. Make it VR please!

[EnViiDisnuCCa]

Please don't make it vr vr is dead whoever brought the psvr 2 I know ya mad cuz ain't nothing on there to make some1 spend just as much as a console for a paper weight

You do know there is a separate team that port the game to VR, it's not day 1. Looking at how you type, i'm guessing there is a few more things in life you don't know....

[Babadook7]

I bought it and it's been anything but a paper weight. I've bought dozens of games and finished many of them. I've put 300 hours into GT7 alone (much better in VR). I've played two big resident evil games (both much better in VR).

If you don't want to play RE in VR don't. Capcom doesn't make you. But you don't know what you're missing.

I’m glad this is in development.. RE is back to glory since 7

Lol, I love that you're steadily working on your comedic piece... Listen Vr2 is amazing. If you don't have one then please don't judge, every Resident Evil that's in VR is best played that way and Racing games.

If you don't like it then ok but VR is long from dead. I take it you mean it is not as vital as regular console games right? That's been out for toooooo many years. Yeah, well VR is still new tech, technically; it'll get there, just the same way gaming has gone from pong days (a so-called kids toy) to the biggest medium...

Surely you as a gamer can see that, there will be a point where VR will do the same thing; as our younger generation of kids grows up using this tech. Give it time sire...

They're releasing and deving games for it.

[AshleeEmerson]

Yes VR PLEEEEEASE!

If not, then I definitely won't be buying.

I liked 8, but man was it a mess in terms of RE lore and having really any connection to anything. Like, it could be a whole new IP and I’d have never thought for once it was an RE game. I’m hoping with 9 they bring it back to labs and B.O.W.’s and not go so crazy into supernatural mold and R/C Cola magneto man.

[RaidenBlack]

It'll be open-world unfortunately ... so, yea ... RE: FarCry now /s
I am actually more interested in the rumored RE:1 Re-Remake ... in time for the Series’ 30th Anniversary

[Charal]

It is rumored to be

[-Foxtrot]

It was the same for VII

Felt like it was a new IP they slapped RE references in during late development

Like my theory on why Chris Redfield looks so different in VII is that it was never supposed to be Chris, just a random Soldier.

[aaronaton]

RE7 and RE:Village are some of the best experiences in VR i've had. VR redefines how to play horror games and Capcom know it. Regardless of PSVR2 sales, i think the team know its the definitive way to play Resident Evil.
Anyone that disagrees with this simply hasn't played RE on the PSVR2.

[Babadook7]

They are the best experiences I've had all gen long.

[gold_drake]

god i hope its not open world

[DefaultComment]

Now, who would be the next protagonist? I mean Ethan Winters is dead, I don't know if her daighter might, Chris looks old AF. Will Capcom satisfy once again to thir thirst audience? All this and more on the next episode of RE9

[Ninver]

Imo the series needs a break. After remaking code Veronica ofcourse.

[got_dam]

Please be real survival horror like 7 or remake 2. Going back to the action focus in 8 was a huge bummer for me.

[anast]

I hope it's open world.
