Resident Evil 9 reveal date leaked

A new Resident Evil 9 rumor has surfaced online, revealing when Capcom could reveal the next Resident Evil game. Following the release of Resident Evil 4 Remake, Resident Evil fans have turned their attention to Resident Evil 9, or whatever the next mainline Resident Evil game will be called, as this is currently an unofficial name for the title.

At this point, Resident Evil fans are expecting Resident Evil 9 to conclude the recent Resident Evil trilogy that started with Resident Evil 7, continued with Resident Evil Village, and could end with this new installment. However, this is just speculation. However, there is speculation that we could get confirmation as early as the end of the year.

According to a new rumor, Resident Evil 9 could finally be revealed next month, possibly during The Game Awards 2024, confirmed on December 12 or the rumored PlayStation State of Play. The source of this rumor is an industry insider Crazy Ignuswhich has earned the trust of some after a series of recent and reliable leaks.

That said, the insider isn’t ready to fully commit to this claim at this point, as the upcoming release of Monster Hunter: Wilds – coming in February – could put Resident Evil 9 on the back burner.

“I also believe the next Resident Evil game will be announced in December, but given the focus on Monster Hunter: Wilds it’s safe to say that ‘it’s just a huge possibility’ that that game will happen,” says Lunatic Ignus in a recent post on X.

For what it’s worth, there isn’t much precedent to suggest that Resident Evil 9 will be announced in December. Whether it’s Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil 7, Resident Evil 4 Remake, or Resident Evil 2 Remake, they were all announced notably in June. However, there is one exception among recent Resident Evil games, and that is Resident Evil 3 Remake, which was announced in December.

That said, take everything here with a grain of salt, both the rumor and the speculation that created it. So far, none of that has drawn any comment from Capcom. We don’t expect Capcom to comment for a variety of reasons, but if they do, we’ll be sure to update the story accordingly.
