The new information onResident Evil 9comes from AestheticGamer aka Dusk Golem, who is known for theiraccurateResident Eviland horror game leaks. They believe that Capcom will be announcingResident Evil 9in 2024, with the game itself launching in 2025. This doesn’t provide a specific release date for fans to mark on their calendars, but it does letResident Evilenthusiasts know that they shouldn’t expect to playResident Evil 9until 2025 at the earliest.
WithResident Evil 9rumoredto be at least two years out, fans may be wondering what else Capcom has in the pipeline between now and then. The same leaker has said that Capcom will be announcing “a major title” at the end of 2023, which will then be released in fall 2024. There’s no indication as to what that title is, but if it wereResident Evil-related, one would think that would have been specified.
This is a complete guess, but a newMonster Huntergame seems like the most likely scenario. After all,Monster Hunter Worldis five years old at this point, and whileMonster Hunter Risewas a great game in its own right, it originating as a Switch game inevitably meant that it wasn’t as ambitious asWorld.Monster Hunter Worldhad record-breaking sales, so one has to imagine that a direct sequel to that game has to be a distinct possibility.
As for theResident Evilfranchise, there are no newResident Evilgames currently announced. However, there are rumors that Capcom is releasingmoreResident Evil 4remake DLCat some point in the near future, potentially adding the Separate Ways campaign to the game.
Resident Evil 9is rumored to be in development.
