While Resident Evil Village will only be released in May, it looks like Capcom may already be working on the next installment of the survival horror franchise. The rumor comes from @ AestheticGamer1, who also goes on “Dusk Golem”. The nice discussed Capcom’s current progress with the game, but was careful to point out that he does not expect it to be released before 2024. The Resident Evil franchise is easily one of Capcom’s most important, so it does not seem unlikely. With the development of the current project, it only makes sense that the publisher might look to the future!
The original Tweet from @ AestheticGamer1 can be found below.
Yes, but do not expect it soon. I literally can not see it being released before 2024. Up to the moment it is not worth talking about it now, anything can happen in dev with the fact that the whole thing is reloading (it has happened a lot in the RE series). https://t.co/mKCUFEgTNH

For those unfamiliar with @ AestheticGamer1, he was one of the most prominent voices regarding the rumors of Silent Hill. It remains to be seen whether the rumors will turn out to be accurate or not, but they have been gaining a lot of steam over the past few months, which has made the original reporting reliable. @ AestheticGamer1 had previously indicated that he is a game developer, and apparently he has become familiar with inside information regarding titles like this. Readers should still take these rumors with a grain of salt.
Of course, it will probably take a while before fans know if the ninth Resident Evil is really in production! Publishers tend to keep this kind of information secret until they are ready to make an official disclosure, and according to @ AestheticGamer1’s own report, we’re a few more years away. It looks like we’ll see more content from Resident Evil between the release of Resident Evil Village and the next series entry, possibly in the form of another remake. Regardless, with Resident Evil Village and the recharge of the live-action film, both coming this year, seems like there has never been a better time for fans of the series!
