Resident Evil Village Shadows of Rose takes place in 2036, pushing out the RE timeline quite a bit

Rose was born in 2020 and she's 16 in the DLC according to the trailer.
  • Barry Burton will be 76.
  • Chris Redfield will be 63. Jill 62.
  • Leon will be 59. Claire 57.
  • Sherry Birkin will be 50.
It's a whole new world.

(Old Man Redfield is too tired a trope. Literally).

Credit to Wong Kar Why for pointing out it's stated in the trailer itself. No accelerated aging malarky.

It does push it far but that just mean they have a 16 years gap to fill with shit that happened.

Doesn't seem like there will much chance to see what has happened to the world though. Unless I misunderstood the part about it taking place inside of an experimental dream/simulation.

It seems that the game will take place in a mind-like space outside of reality.

I would be very surprised if we're getting anything substantial out of this. I think it'll be a closed off episode with like 1-2 small nods here and there.

Don't worry, Wesker will magically come back (the one that died was a fake obivously) and infect Chris, Leon, Jill and Sherry with Omega Strain that makes you immortal and eternally young. Chris vs Wesker forever.

Kinda crazy Capcom just spoiled the ending to RE8 I guess they just want people to know what happened and get ready. I expect Old Man Chris and Rose for RE9

I guess the original main cast will die of old age and the world will still be a mess.
I feel bad for Chris because he dedicated his life to that cause.

Make RE9 a Jill game set between 3 and 4 and show us how she's the one that took down Umbrella and the whole bankruptcy thing was just a cover story

Also says its all in 3rd person... along with the main campaign, does this mean mainline RE is moving away from FPS?

RE9 will definitely be about Chris, Jill and the rest taking down the now corrupted DLC.
Remember : RE9 will be the last numbered Resident Evil game according to the Capcom Leaks, they want to move away from that.

It would make a lot of sense to have the last numbered RE game be a sendoff to the OG characters.

Isn't the new Netflix show, which is canon to the games, set in 2036?

Good call. Though the Racoon City Incident in the show happens in 2022 not 1998.
I don't think it's the same timeline but that's an interesting coincidence.

I'd like the last numbered Resident Evil to be 10. REX.

Very odd that the DLC is only in 3rd person, it should be an option IMO. That being said I loved RE2R & RE3R and I'm sure it'll feel the same as those. Have you they said how much it'll cost for non gold owners?

9 really needs to set up a new group if we're going to go that far. Or they could repurpose the RE:sistance characters into the new gen along with Rose.

The next game will probably travel back to current time. It's pretty cool to play with the timeline though but I hope it doesn't get messy.

By doing the DLC they can immediately follow up on Village's epilogue while still telling stories in the interim. All we know is that Chris is still alive at the end of 8. Who knows what happened with Jill, Leon, Claire, Rebecca, Sherry, Jake, Barry, Sheva, Moira, Natalia (lol), etc.

RE4 is getting VR, so not necessarily.

Her goal is literally to "get rid of her powers".


If she succeeds I'm pretty sure that's just the end of her story.

They're not sacrificing everybody else for her.

It's a way of Capcom to conclude her story and that arc beautifully so that fans don't keep asking "what happened to Rose ?".

VR * segments *. Main game isn't FPS.

The show's producer said that the games are considered canon for the series. Doesn't mean that the series is canon to the games. Sorry!

I'm expecting to be self contained, and Rose to be exorcised of her powers at the end of the game.

RE has shown that they can take risks, but they won't shove the entire fan favorite cast on a nursing home in favor of Dry Wheat Winters' daughter. It's not gonna happen.
