Resident Evil 9 Reportedly Biggest Game In The Series to Date
According to longtime Resident Evil insider, Dusk Golem (via GamingBible), Resident Evil 9 is shaping up for a 2025 launch at the moment. It is expected to have the biggest budget and longest development time of any game in the series, with it beginning production back in 2018, a year after Resident Evil 7. That would suggest it has been in development in tandem with the entirety of Resident Evil: Village. It's also expected to be both a closing and beginning chapter for Capcom, wrapping up the current era of the series and possibly starting to take it all in a new direction. What all of that could mean is a mystery, but given the time and money being invested into it, it seems like Capcom has high expectations for the project and must really believe in it. Resident Evil is arguably at its peak popularity right now as it has been on a string of hits since 2017 between the mainline releases and repeatedly successful remakes.
Whether or not Capcom will maintain the first-person perspective for future Resident Evil games is unknown. It's possible Resident Evil 9 could put an end to that in favor of letting Capcom "return to its roots". The developer could also very well try to divide the series into different types of games with the remakes embracing that perspective and the new mainline games sticking to the first-person ones. Both seem to be working, so it may be a bad idea to just focus on one instead of giving players the variety that has been offering Capcom so much success in the last few years.

Love the resident evil series and I really hope they keep the first person aspect. It's a series that has had massive ups and some mediocre flatlines but it's stayed steady but with 7 changing the perspective and making it more tense and horror esque I really hope they keep that vibe, village couldn't have been a better predecessor and I have high hopes for 9!
