Resident Evil<\/em> fans have been eagerly awaiting the next mainline installment. While the wait continues, there is good news. Capcom<\/a> is reportedly focused on making Resident Evil 9<\/em><\/a> good enough to receive a 90+ critical score. This goal echoes the high standards set by the original Resident Evil 4<\/em> released nearly twenty years ago.<\/p>\n

According to Dusk Golem<\/a>, a trusted Resident Evil<\/em> insider, the developers are working hard to make Resident Evil 9<\/em> the most ambitious game in the franchise. He stated on X\/Twitter that Capcom hasn\u2019t seen a non-remake Resident Evil<\/em> game achieve a 90+ Metacritic score since Resident Evil 4<\/em>. The developers aim to replicate that success and are hyper-aware of the high expectations for the new game.<\/p>\n

“Not only is Resident Evil 9<\/em> an ambitious game, but they also haven\u2019t had a non-remake Resident Evil<\/em> game get a 90+ Metascore since Resident Evil 4<\/em> OG 20 years ago,\u201d Dusk Golem said. \u201cCapcom is gunning really hard to make this great.\u201d<\/p>\n

The franchise has seen a resurgence in recent years with several successful remakes. However, mainline titles have struggled to reach the same heights.<\/p>\n

Rumors suggest that Resident Evil 9<\/em> could feature an open-world setting and characters like Leon Kennedy and Jill Valentine. While Capcom has not officially commented on the details, the game is rumored for an early 2025 launch. For now, fans will have to wait for more updates, trusting that Capcom is developing something truly worth the wait.<\/p>\n

Here’s a really small but truthful tidbit; Not only is Resident Evil 9 just an ambitious game, there hasn’t been a non-remake Resident Evil game that’s gotten the level of critical success to get a 90+ critical score. Hear Capcom is gunning really hard to make this great. https:\/\/t.co\/bWVhGy7d56<\/a><\/p>\n
