The only confirmed detail is that Koshi Nakanishi, the director of <i>Resident Evil 7<\/i>, will also be directing this entry.<\/p>\n<p>Some leakers suggest that the game could be released as early as 2025, but considering <i>Resident Evil 8<\/i> was released in 2021,<b> a more realistic expectation is 2026<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Fans should take any early release date speculations with caution until there\u2019s an official announcement from Capcom.<\/p>\n<h2>Resident Evil 9 Platforms<\/h2>\n<p>While no platforms have been confirmed for <i>Resident Evil 9<\/i>, it is <b>safe to assume that the game will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X\/S, and PC<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>It is unlikely that the game will be released on last-gen consoles, but nothing is set in stone yet.<\/p>\n<h2>Trailers and Teasers<\/h2>\n<p>As of now, there are <b>no trailers or screenshots available for <\/b><b><i>Resident Evil 9<\/i><\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>The only hint we have comes from a statement by Nakanishi: \u201c<i>It was really difficult to figure out what to do after [Resident Evil 7], but I found it, and to be honest, it feels substantial. I can\u2019t share any details just yet, but I hope you\u2019re excited for the day I can<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since Ethan\u2019s storyline concluded in <i>Resident Evil 8<\/i>, the next protagonist is a subject of much speculation.<\/p>\n<p>Rose, Ethan\u2019s daughter, seems like a likely candidate, but Chris Redfield is another strong possibility.<\/p>\n<h2>Gameplay Expectations<\/h2>\n<p>Given that Nakanishi is directing and considering the direction of recent titles, <b><i>Resident Evil 9<\/i><\/b><b> will likely continue with the first-person perspective<\/b> introduced in <i>Resident Evil 7<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>There might be third-person and\/or VR modes added later, but it will probably launch as another first-person horror experience.<\/p>\n<p>Fans can expect the usual mix of <b>inventory management, puzzle-solving, and battling horrific monsters<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>While the exact new mechanics are unknown, the core gameplay elements are expected to stay true to the series\u2019 roots.<\/p>\n<h2>Preorder Information<\/h2>\n<p>There is currently <b>no preorder information for <\/b><b><i>Resident Evil 9<\/i><\/b>. Preorder details will likely be announced once Capcom provides a clearer release date.<\/p>\n<p>Fans can expect various editions, both physical and digital, to be available when the time comes.<\/p>\n<h2>Why The Next Resident Evil Might Cut Corners on New Weapons<\/h2>\n<p>Following the <a href=\"https:\/\/culture.org\/gaming\/resident-evil-4-remake-gameplay-experience-and-ps5-enhancements\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">successful remake of <i>Resident Evil 4<\/i><\/a> and rumors of upcoming remakes of <i>Resident Evil 0<\/i> and <i>Code: Veronica<\/i>, it\u2019s clear that <b>Capcom has big plans for the series<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>However, the 9th main entry is confirmed to be in early development, and fans are eager to see what types of weapons they\u2019ll be able to use:<\/p>\n<h3>Resident Evil&#8217;s Familiar Weaponry<\/h3>\n<p>The Resident Evil series has a tradition of featuring a familiar set of weapons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Pistol<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Shotgun<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Assault Rifle<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Submachine Gun<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Hunting\/Sniper Rifle<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Magnum<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These weapons <b>can usually be upgraded and modified<\/b>, a trend likely to continue in <i>Resident Evil 9<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>The series also includes <b>secondary weapons like knives and grenades<\/b>, with some unique exceptions such as the mine thrower or rocket launcher.<\/p>\n<p>These weapons&#8217; reliable and versatile nature has been a hallmark of the series.<\/p>\n<h3>Reusing Assets<\/h3>\n<p>Capcom has a history of reusing assets in the <i>Resident Evil<\/i> series, which helps maintain consistency and reduce development costs.<\/p>\n<p>This practice includes <b>reusing items like miscellaneous furniture and equipment<\/b> like bolt cutters.<\/p>\n<p>This approach is expected to continue in <i>Resident Evil 9<\/i>, ensuring a familiar yet refreshed experience for fans.<\/p>\n<h3>Weapons and Survival<\/h3>\n<p><i>Resident Evil\u2019s<\/i> limited but versatile weapon selection plays into the series&#8217; survival horror aspects, <b>requiring players to manage their resources effectively<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>This has been a consistent feature across the series, encouraging players to make decisions based on available weapons and ammunition.<\/p>\n<h2>Stay Tuned for More Resident Evil 9 Updates!<\/h2>\n<p>As we eagerly await more details about <i>Resident Evil 9<\/i>, stay tuned for the latest news and updates.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s the release date, gameplay features, or preorder information, we\u2019ll bring you all the crucial updates as soon as they\u2019re available.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t miss out on any new developments \u2014 follow our blog for the latest on <i>Resident Evil 9<\/i> and join the conversation with fellow fans.<\/p>\n<p>Stay excited, and get ready for another thrilling adventure in the <i>Resident Evil<\/i> series!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10028,"featured_media":173787,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[407],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-173786","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gaming"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173786"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10028"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=173786"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173786\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/173787"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=173786"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=173786"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=173786"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
