A popularResident Evilleaker suggested that the 2021Resident Evilgame could upset many fans. The same leaker has also said that theResident Evilgame in 2021 will not beResident Evil 8, which many fans have been asking for.

On Twitter, AestheticGamer shared information about the development of the unconfirmed 2021Resident Evilgame. The game has been in development since late 2016, revealed the leaker, and by the time it releases in 2021, it will have been in development for four and a half years. The Twitter user also said that the official announcement for the game will be “really soon” and it is the “biggest departure the series has ever taken.”

AestheticGamer says that “I expect a lot of people will be pissed off about it when it gets revealed, but they should be open-minded.” ThenewResident Evilgamewill be high quality, though, and the leaker is excited about it. The response on Twitter reveals that fans seem to be feeling positive about Capcom’s potential plans, so it may not cause as much trouble as AestheticGamer thinks.

It’s unclear what sort of “departure” Capcom is planning forResident Evil2021, but other leaks about the series suggest that the company has some surprising ideas. AResident Evil8 leak teased zombies with swordswearing suits of armor. That game is set to release in the next couple of years, say rumors, meaning that it could be a while until Capcom goes back to the sort of gameplay that first made the series so popular.

These new games may be being developed so that they feel different from theResident Evilremakes. TheResident Evil 2remake had positive reviews last year, andResident Evil 3remake reviewshas confirmed similar success. However, Capcom may feel that it needs to give fans something new to play.

Details about the newResident Evilhave not been confirmed but this should mean that fans have several new things in the series to enjoy. There is also a rumor thatNetflix is making twoResident EvilTV seriesshowing just how many ideas Capcom has for the series. Fans may not like all of these ideas though there will likely be so much that mostResident Evilfans are happy.
