That’s according to noted leaker Dusk Golem, who said that following Capcom’s improvements to the RE Engine when developing open-world experiences like Dragon’s Dogma 2, Capcom is eager to capitalise on the expanded tech when making Monster Hunter Wild and Resident Evil 9.
“Dragon’s Dogma 2 expanded RE Engine functionality for open world games, the two other games building on this tech is Monster Hunter Wild & Resident Evil 9.
“Dragon’s Dogma 2 is still clearly Dragon’s Dogma, Wild is still clearly Monster Hunter, same will be true for RE9 [with] Resident Evil.”
Capcom has not formally confirmed that Resident Evil 9 is in development – although it’s fair to presume it is – while Monster Hunter Wild was announced back in December 2023.
