Insider Suggests Resident Evil 9 Might Embrace Open-World Gameplay

Rumors are circulating in the gaming community that the highly-anticipated Resident Evil 9 could be embracing an open-world format.

The source of this speculation is the renowned insider, AestheticGamer aka Dusk Golem, who has previously shared credible information about several video games, including releasing some footage of the new Silent Hill game back May 2022. 

According to Dusk Golem's revelations, Capcom, the developer of the Resident Evil series, has been refining its RE Engine's capacity for creating open-world experiences while developing Dragon's Dogma 2.

This development has not only improved Dragon's Dogma 2 itself, but also set a stage for future titles from Capcom. The expanded capabilities of the RE Engine might pave the way for Resident Evil 9's design, marking a potential shift from the series' traditional gameplay.

This change wouldn't be entirely unforeseen, considering that Resident Evil Village, the latest installment of the series, allowed players to move between several large, semi-open areas. One point that Dusk Golem added regarding the potential change in gameplay is:

As the community eagerly awaits further official announcements from Capcom, the developer has maintained its silence regarding both their plans for the next entry in the Resident Evil franchise as well as their coming new games. If the information from Dusk Golem is again reliable this time, it could mean a thrilling new start for this iconic horror gaming franchise.
