A new Resident Evil game is in development, which will likely be Resident Evil 9. The announcement came during CAPCOM SUMMER NEXT on July 2, where famed director Koshi Nakanishi also revealed his involvement in the project.

Nakanishi, known for recently directing Resident Evil VII: Biohazard, expressed his excitement about the new installment soon after the sequel details were revealed in the Capcom livestream. “We’re making a new Resident Evil,” Nakanishi stated. “It was really difficult to figure out what to do after Seven. But I found it, and to be honest, it feels substantial. I can’t share any details yet, but I hope you’re excited for the day I can.”
