Is Resident Evil 9 on its way? It’s more likely than you think.

According to a reputable horror game leaker, Resident Evil 9 could be announced imminently and have its release within less than a year, if nothing changes.

Capcom is aware that Resident Evil is one of its biggest franchises. That’s why it’s not surprising that they have been alternating between new titles and remakes in recent years. With very high quality, always exceeding expectations, they know how to work with the material at hand. Last year they gave us the Remake of Resident Evil 4, so it would be logical for the next game to be a new installment of the main franchise. And according to a famous leaker, that’s exactly what’s going to happen.

According to Dusk Golem, a specialized horror game leaker, Resident Evil 9 should be just around the corner. Capcom should be announcing it soon, with the most likely release date being in January 2025. Although this second part has not been able to confirm it with complete certainty, it seems to be the current plans of the Japanese company.

The interesting thing about this is that Resident Evil 9 began its development, as far as we know, in early 2018. Being a possible Resident Evil 8, they started Village as what would finally be Resident Evil 8, but not without some setbacks. The game would at some point become a spin-off of the franchise, to finally end up being the eighth installment. Which means that Resident Evil 8 and 9 have been developed at the same time.

According to Dusk Golem, this would be absolutely normal. Resident Evil games are approved in groups, in order to maintain their almost annual release schedule, and in 2018, Resident Evil 2 Remake, Resident Evil 3 Remake, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Resident Evil 8, and Resident Evil 9 were all in development at the same time. However, each of them was in a different stage of development. Another group of Resident Evil games was approved early last year.
