Resident Evil 9 should be the next major stop for the series, possibly with another side game in the vein of Resident Evil Re:Verse along the way.

The past two numbered games have wrapped up Ethan Winters’ story arc, and it's unclear how far the remake line will go after Resident Evil 4. However, fans still can't help but wonder what's next for the Resident Evil franchise. The improved Mercenaries content should set the stage for the inevitable return of Resident Evil 4’s own Mercenaries mode, and the game’s replay-encouraging combat options look to be preserved in the remake. Resident Evil Village’s DLC has added a ton of replay value to the game, possibly even more than that of Resident Evil 7 Biohazard’s DLC thanks to the third-person campaign. Fans probably have a few years to wait before Resident Evil 9 drops, but they should be busy until then.

The Resident Evil franchise has entered a short lull between the Winters' Expansion for Resident Evil Village and the much anticipated Resident Evil 4 remake.
