The series Resident Evil has always been based on interconnected stories, and Resident Evil Village (RE8) left fans with multiple unanswered questions. With rumors circulating about Resident Evil 9 (RE9), many fans are wondering if it will pick up where the village has left off.
As of now, Capcom has not officially confirmed RE9 yet, the climax of Resident Evil 8, which suggests that the upcoming game can follow the lingering plot threads. Let's break down some clues and figure out how RE9 might be connected to the Village.
How Resident Evil 9 Could Continue RE Village's Story
Resident Evil 9 - It's Finally Happening!
Resident Evil Village wrapped up Ethan Winters' tragic journey, though it also sets the stage for future events. Here are the biggest clues that RE9 will continue the story:
Rose Winters
' future
The 'Father's Story' epilogue head starts 16 years earlier, showing Ethan's daughter, Rose, as a teenager with strange abilities.
She has seen under a shadowy organization (possibly the
BSAA
or
Chris Redfield
's team).
Her connection with Mold, she could have been the Resident Evil 9 (RE9) new protagonist, or even a target for new villains in the game.
Chris Redfield's ongoing mission
Chris has been a major player since Resident Evil 7, and the village left him in a purely complicated position.
The post-credit scene in the game hints that the BSAA is using bioweapons, which could force Chris to go rogue in Resident Evil 9.
Chris's story is not yet over, and in the next game, Resident Evil 9, he might explore the fight against corruption within the organizations.
The legacy of the Megamycete
The giant fungal hive mind was destroyed in the village, but its genetic material would still be out there.
The villainous group The Connection might return to weaponize its power.
If Resident Evil 9 revisits the concept, we could see even more deadly mutations.
The BSAA's downfall
The ending of Village implies the BSAA has deployed its own bioweapons and has become just as dangerous as the threats they fight, which suggests a moral downfall that Resident Evil 9 could address.
While Resident Evil 9 remains unconfirmed, Resident Evil Village laid ample groundwork for a direct sequel. From Rose Winters' powers to the BSAA's corruption, the narrative seeds are firmly planted. If RE9 follows these threads, it could deliver a continuation that satisfies fans while expanding the Resident Evil universe further. Until Capcom makes an official announcement, speculation will continue, but the ties between the two games appear undeniable.

When Danny Boyle and Alex Garland redefined Zombies with Cillian Murphy in 28 Days Later
'28 Days Later' brought a horrific genre back: the zombies. The movie was two decades ago and starred Cillian Murphy as Jim, who was a bicycle courier guy. He discovers that he is among the survivors of an incurable virus that has wiped out the U.K. after he wakes up from a coma. How did the idea come to reinvent the genre? Garland was a fan of George Romero's 1968 'Night of the Living Dead' when he was young. The idea was pitched when he was getting pizza with Andrew Macdonald about the running zombies in London. Garland tells 'THR' that 'There were five drafts where it was just me working with Andrew, and then eventually Andrew said, 'OK, now I'm going to show this to Danny.'' The writer has said that fast-moving zombie dogs in the 1996 video game 'Resident Evil' were a disclosure: 'That's the thing that gave the idea of a zombie movie, but where the zombies move quickly.' Naomie Harris, Brendan Gleeson, and Christopher Eccleston rounded out the cast for the film that got released theatrically on June 27, 2003. It collected 74 million dollars globally at that time, and a 'THR' story about its legacy noted that the project 'uses the idea of these living dead to explore the collapse of society.' Producer credits Danny Boyle , the director, and Alex Garland , the screenwriter, only had producer credits on the 2007 sequel of '28 Weeks Later,' but the June 20 follow-up of '28 Years Later' sees the return of Boyle as director and Garland as writer. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo Over the years, Boyle has attended anniversary screenings for '28 Days Later' and informed Garland when they're packed with fans.
