Resident Evil is making its way steadily to its ninth numbered mainline installment and with that comes a lot of expectations. Resident Evil 9 could follow Chris Redfield in Europe, Rose Winters far into the future relative to the present day, or any new direction Capcom wants to take; meanwhile, Resident Evil has held onto a bunch of features and mechanics between recent entries and it’d make sense to at least see most of them in Resident Evil 9.
