Resident Evil 7 was a hit horror game that introduced the first-person perspective and brought back the Umbrella Corporation and the fan-favorite Chris Redfield. Resident Evil 8 followed up with an emotional story about Ethan, his wife Mia, and their daughter Rose, who has special powers.
Capcom also released a DLC that explored Rose’s story, as she was kidnapped by Mother Miranda, the main villain of Resident Evil 8.
At the end of Resident Evil 8 and its DLC, there is a scene where Rose visits her father’s grave, but she is interrupted by Chris’s men. She then leaves with them in a car, and some fans notice a figure walking near the car. They think that this figure is Ethan, who might still be alive.If this is true, fans might get to see Ethan again in the next game.
A popular YouTuber, Residence of Evil, says that Resident Evil 9’s story will involve more myths and supernatural elements, making it darker and scarier. This suggests that fans will experience a different side of Ethan’s story.
Resident Evil 8 and its DLC also set up the stage for the next game, as they showed a younger version of Rose and her abilities. The next game might explore more of Rose’s powers and how they affect the world.
One of the most important characters in Ethan’s story is Chris, who has been with him since Resident Evil 7 and played a big role in Resident Evil 8. If Capcom wants to wrap up Ethan’s story, they might include Chris in the game and give him a meaningful part in the story.
That said, there is still some time before we see more details about the game. Until then, you can read our previous article in which we talked about multiple Resident Evil games being made.
