Resident Evil 9 is hiding in the shadows at the moment, but an announcement from Capcom feels imminent. It's been three years since the last Resident Evil chapter, and its open-ended finale has raised even more questions about the future of the series. Between Resident Evil 7 and Village, the main source of infection was found in the Mold, a dangerous fungus that originates in the mountains of Eastern Europe. Its introduction was a departure from the Umbrella-made viruses the franchise has established, and if rumors are true, the Mold will return in the next game.
