The Resident Evil franchise is not only one of the most popular of the survival horror genre but it’s also one of the most iconic in the whole of the video game industry, and Capcom knows it.

Over the years, we’ve seen countless releases in the Resident Evil series, some better than others, as with any video game franchise.Capcomhas nailed down its formula with tales of horror, mutations and corruption like no other in its linear but immersive world. However, despite existing for nearly three decades, we’ve never had a proper open-world Resident Evil game. The closest we’ve had isResident Evil Villagereleased in 2021. Would an open-world Resident Evil game work? Who knows, but indie developer Robson Rodrigo has put that theory to the test.

In the gameplay video uploaded to Robson Rodrigo’s YouTube channel, we see the huge map of Raccoon City in great detail including the outskirts of the city, the Arkley Mountains which is home to the Spencer Mansion from the original game, and the Training Facility fromResident Evil Zero.
We, of course, get to see other iconic locations such as the RPD, the Clock Tower and much more. Oh, and this map is one million and six hundred thousand square metres for Raccoon City and six million square metres for the Arklay Mountains. So it’s huge. It really is an impressive project and as a big Resident Evil fan, I’d love to see something like this from Capcom one day.
