What do you think the next big BOW based threat will be themed around and based on?

Forum question

Because Requiem in a way effectively ended the progenitor virus and all it's variants as threat for a most part, leaving us with Las Plagas and the Mold/Cadou. So the question is what, do you think the next big BOW based threat will be themed around and based on if Capcom want's to do something new?

If they wanted use something already in the lore, Code Veronica had this "ancient virus" also known as Veronica, which is a retrovirus which exists within the genome of ants, and possibly other insect species. It was first isolated within the DNA of an ant queen at the Antarctic Base by Dr. Alexia Ashford. And that was theorised to played a significant role in the evolution of ants, including their social interactions and was later spliced with the progenitor Virus to create the T-Veronica virus. And with the Code Veronica remake coming out, they could explore this "ancient virus" more and set it up to be used in later entries.

Though it may be a bit to similar to Las Plagas. But, giant ant's and splicing ant DNA with various creatures and human would be interesting, as Ant's have shown to be able to rapidly, evolve reinvent and adapt it through complex genetic changes. So that would make them a bit more unique.
