The insider, well known in the game community, revealed the information on a Discord channel. According to him, the title has been costly for the Japanese publisher as it is the biggest (in terms of hours of gameplay) game in the history of the franchise.
It is worth mentioning that the development of Resident Evil 9 would have started in 2018, but Capcom would only plan to release it in 2025 — if this is confirmed, it would be the longest production period for an IP game.
Dusk Golem states that the game would close the trilogy that began with Resident Evil 7: biohazard, but would not be a direct sequel to Resident Evil Village. Finally, recent leaks suggested that the story of RE 9 will take place in “a haunted western city”. In it, players will encounter “mythical creatures”.
Resident Evil 9 is a rumor
Despite being accurate on several other occasions, Dusk Golem is not an official source of information. It's worth waiting for Capcom to talk about Resident Evil 9 before creating any expectations.[Source: Gaming Insider]
