According to a notable leak source named Dusk Golem, Capcom has improved the open-world experience in Dragon’s Dogma 2 and is looking to utilize the existing improvements and advanced technology in the RE Engine in the development of Monster Hunter Wild and Resident Evil 9.
Resident Evil 9 is rumored to be developed as an open world
Dusk Golem said the following on Twitter: “I’ll give you some information. Capcom often announces three new games very close to each other. For example, RE 7, RE 2 Remake and DMCV were all announced fairly recently to take advantage of their new RE Engine, and the idea of remaking RE:2 led them to also attempt to remake RE:3 and RE:4.”
“Dragon’s Dogma 2 expanded the RE Engine functionality for open world games, the other two games built on this technology are Monster Hunter Wild and Resident Evil 9.”
Officially Capcom has not confirmed that Resident Evil 9 is in development, but Monster Hunter Wild was announced in December 2023. If these games are being built on the same RE Engine engine that Dragon’s Dogma 2 was built on, it’s very likely that Resident Evil 9 will be open world.
