Capcom isn’t necessarily one to transparently leave a trail of breadcrumbs in one game for the next to follow, especially in terms of how each Resident Evil game’s ending concludes with finality and closure for that story’s events. Regardless of whether the character takes a helicopter ride into the sunset or not, it’s usually uncertain what the story of the next game will entail, let alone if it will follow the same character again or not. Resident Evil 9, on the other hand, seems to want to do away with that tradition and it’ll be interesting to see if Capcom follows through with the loose thread it’s handed Chris Redfield.
