Resident Evil franchise has evolved over the years, balancing moments of terror and intense action. With Resident Evil 7, Capcom has rescued the claustrophobic climate and the survival horror of the saga's origins, abandoning the most explosive approach to Resident Evil 6. Now, rumors indicate that Resident Evil 9 can follow this path, betting on mechanics that intensify immersion, such as a persistent enemy and resource shortage.

In recent releases, such as Resident Evil Village and Resident Evil 4 Remake, the action has gained more prominence. However, sources suggest that Capcom intends to bring back the desperation and vulnerability, elements that marked RE7. The game can bet on an oppressive atmosphere and a darker narrative, approaching the essence of Survival horror.
Relentless enemies can raise the tension level
From Mr. X in Resident Evil 2 to Nemesis in Resident Evil 3, the franchise has been able to create terrifying enemies that pursue the player relentlessly. In Resident Evil 7, Jack Baker has played this role with mastery, forcing players to hide and improvise strategies to survive.
Now rumors point out that Resident Evil 9 can follow this line, bringing a new antagonist that evolves along with the player and becomes even more dangerous as the story advances. According to Insider Lustfix, the artificial intelligence of this enemy will be highly adaptable, ensuring moments of extreme tension and a constant sense of danger.
Another expected aspect is the dense and frightening setting. While Village offered varied scenarios and a Gothic tone, Resident Evil 9 can bring closed, dark and suffocating places, raising the feeling of isolation and impotence.
Scarcity of resources and strategy are essential
One of the greatest criticism of Resident Evil Village was the abundance of ammunition and weapons, which reduced the need to manage resources. Unlike this, Resident Evil 9 can return to scarcity mechanics, forcing players to choose with caution when fighting or fleeing.
If confirmed, this approach would recreate the despair seen in Resident Evil 7, where each bullet counted and the administration of items was crucial to survival. This return to pure horror would make the new game more tense and challenging, something many fans have been asking for years.
Announcement can happen on the 30th anniversary of the franchise
Although Capcom has not yet confirmed details about Resident Evil 9, rumors indicate that the game can be announced in 2025. Next year will be remarkable for the franchise, which turns 30 in March, which makes this date a perfect opportunity to reveal the new title.
In addition, Capcom is speculation preparing new relaunch and remastements for modern consoles. Recently, the ESRB (indicative classification body) listed Resident Evil Revelations for Xbox Series, suggesting a possible relaunch of the game. This movement indicates that the company may be planning a special event to announce news from the saga.
Meanwhile, fans are looking forward to more information about Resident Evil 9, expecting a return to psychological terror and anguishing climate that made the franchise an icon of Survival horror.
