Wasn't RE9 rumored to be open world now? I dunno, that doesn't sound very interesting. We're at the point in time again when RE is about to jump the shark, RE9 is either going to be very good or very bad. Problem here is: Where can we go narratively? The original game's cast is old now, Ethan is dead, we got Rose but is she enough to carry the game by herself?
Keep in mind that Capcom clearly prioritized the Remake universe over proper sequels now, so unless we have retcons to make the remakes the canon entries now it will only cause more confusion among new fans.
In proper Capcom fashion, they shit the bed in a completely avoidable matter and they will have to get very lucky to dig their way out of it, before they ruin the games again and start the cycle again.
Either way, it could be possible to get an announcement at least, as the rumored release is in about a year from. It would be a good time to get some hype going, altho the market might be saturated right now with the recent Dead Rising remake.
