Resident Evil Village rumored to be middle entry in a Resident Evil trilogy

Resident Evil Village is nearly here, but ahead of its release we’ve heard how it might fit in the greater Resident Evil franchise as a whole. While Resident Evil Village is the eighth mainline game in the series (with VIII in the title highlighted, clearly referring to “8”), it’s also rumored to be the second game in a trilogy.

This rumor comes via Aesthetic Gamer aka Dusk Golem on Twitter, someone with access to information at Capcom and who has reliably shared info on Resident Evil Village in the past, since even before the game was announced.
