The highly-anticipated remake of Resident Evil 3 drops this Friday, but ahead of its release, we've also heard rumours about where the franchise will be going next. According to prominent leaker Dusk Golem (thanks VG247), a new Resident Evil game will be released in 2021, and will be "the biggest departure the series has ever taken":
As you can see from Dusk Golem's tweet, the game is said to have started development back in 2016, and its 2021 release date would suggest we'll eventually be seeing it on Xbox Series X. They also go on to state that while people may be disappointed or annoyed when it gets revealed, internal testing has shown it to be a high-quality game.
This is just a rumour for now, of course, but the tweet does mention that an announcement will be made "really soon." How soon? We'll have to wait and see.

Open-world RE8 set in Japan plz... we need to fight zombified ninjas.
This is exciting and worrying at the same time. I keep thinking about that RE3 comment, and I wonder if this upcoming game was originally meant as a side project, but has since been bumped up to a numbered title..? I'm speculating, I have no idea.
As long as it's not another open-world snoozefest I'm up for it!
@ShaiHulud I know what you mean, open world used to be good but since every publisher jumped on board it diluted it and now its just irritating
@Olliemar28
I was thinking this same thing.
They had just gotten the series back on track somewhat. I was hoping 8 would be like REmake 2 in the gameplay department, third person, familiar characters, obviously though with a new setting and some new enemy types. 'Biggest departure' the series has ever had doesn't sound good to me.
