Resident Evil 9 Should Culminate the Series’ Two Best New Mechanics

There isn’t much ground left that Resident Evil hasn’t already trod on in the blurred survival-horror and action-oriented genres it’s inhabited. Resident Evil’s renewed horror direction was phenomenal for a franchise that seemed to stagnate in co-op action for a while, and Resident Evil’s remake continuity has allowed it to revisit classic mainline entries in wholesale reimaginings. Resident Evil 9 has had many alleged leaks claiming to know what enemies and ambiance persist in it, but the only legitimate inference that can be made is Chris being its protagonist due to the cliffhanger premise Resident Evil Village teases.
