Resident Evil 9 Fans Might Have to Wait Till 2026
Why a 2025 Launch Looks Unlikely
Capcom usually waits a year before releasing a game after an official announcement. This was the case with Resident Evil Village and its predecessor, Resident Evil 7. If a 2025 release is targeted, then a release and reveal within the same calendar year must happen for the first time in the series.
The Clues Indicate a 2026 Launch
Industry insiders say that Resident Evil 9 is a very ambitious project that would need more development time. Well-known insider Dusk Golem's speculations support the potential release in early 2026.
The Waiting Game Continues
While the absence of a 2024 title for Resident Evil fuelled hopes for a 2025 release, evidence points to a later date. This extended timeline allows Capcom to ensure that the game meets fan expectations.
Looking Ahead
However, for fans who may have to wait a bit longer, they are assured of something worthwhile, as promised with Resident Evil 9. Look out for Capcom's official update as more news is announced.
