Why Resident Evil 9 Needs to Move on from These Characters’ Storylines

The Resident Evil franchise is at the top!

These days, the Resident Evil franchise enjoys great popularity around the world. Since Resident Evil Village, but especially with the success of the Resident Evil 4 remake which sold more than three million copies two days after its release last year. In other words, 28 years after the first appearance of this license, the fan community continues to grow. This remake of a cult video game proves that players are still there, but also that laypeople are being seduced to immerse themselves in iconic franchises.

With such successes and a community of fans so present on social networks, many are already thinking about the continuation of the franchise. Some even go so far as to imagine that Capcom's next project will concern the production of the remake of Resident Evil 5. Others focus on the rumors concerning the ninth opus of the license, of which a relatively reliable source indicated that it would be an open world. More recently, Internet users are already imagining who the main character of this possible next title will be, and everything would suggest that these characters would be left aside.

The Winters family won't be in Resident Evil 9?

After a DLC called Rose's Shadows which highlights the character of Rosemary Winters, the daughter of Ethan Winters who was the main character in several titles, it would be logical for the next opus to focus on this young woman. However, many fans believe that this ninth opus will highlight the characters of Jill Valentine and Claire Redfield, rather than this family which occupied players for several years. Others hope that Chris Redfield will be highlighted more.

In any case, absolutely nothing has been officially announced. This is just speculation about this upcoming title within the fan community. In any case, you will have to be patient to find out more about this ninth title which has fans of the license talking so much. Others prefer to bet that the announcement of the remake of the fifth opus will appear before this sequel.
