Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
No idea how reliable this source is, but here goes.


Translated from German: The following information is of course provided without guarantee, as I have no idea if anything will change here or what it even looks like, but... Oh, screw it. We'll see the first trailer for Resident Evil 9 at the Summer Game Fest on June 6, 2025, with a targeted release in the first quarter of 2026. I suspect it will be at the end of March for the 30th anniversary, because Capcom mentioned in their investor report that they don't expect any significant sales increase by then (Q1). That's why it has to be around the end of March, and yes, it fits well with the anniversary of the series.

iOS? Several of the older games are on my phone. Maybe WWDC 2025 with the new gaming app will get some Resident Evil love.

I got 8 but haven't played it, so no rush for me obviously. Waiting on a deep sale for 4 Remake. Getting a bit burned out with these, but I'm sure it'll be solid.
 
Well I guess now I'll have to watch the show after all. Just pls let this be true, I'm really curious now to finally see something!

I'm also getting a bit tired of Resident Evil. I'm not especially looking forward to the rumored RE1 remake.

Dino Crisis, please. I know it's basically Resident Evil with dinosaurs, but I don't care. I want to shoot dinosaurs.

why do u hate dinos ;_;
 
I can't get too hyped about RE9 as long as I have the assumption it's going to be a first person direct sequel to 8. If they could make a new RE that's up to RE2make standards, I could die happy.
 
Hope it's a mainline 3rd person RE. We haven't had those in a long time. Also I hope it's true they continue the story with some of the old characters.
 
This'll be the first fully current gen RE game in the series with both VILLAGE & 4 having been cross-gen. Hopefully they push the boat out.
 
RE games are dear to me. Of course all the classics like re4 og, remake, re2 remake etc.
But re7 was the FIRST GAME I've finished after moving to my own apartment in late 2016. The game game out january 24th. I remember the date haha.
I was playing with my wife and she is never watching games!
 
Latest Resident Evil 9 rumors:
- Reveal has "95%" chance of happening at Summer Game Fest
- Will star Leon as main protagonist, viewed as the conclusion of his trilogy (RE2,4)
- 3rd person, Considered a "reinvention" of the series will not play like any other RE
- Will lean more towards horror over action but action still present
- Setting really strong Gothic, very "Witchy"
- RE9 will be a "conclusion game" and also a "new beginnings" game. Capcom wants to drop the numbers to tell more unique story's in the RE universe rather than needing everything to be ties together or the legacy titles.
- Expected to release in 2026.

Sounds like a "true" RE4 sequel. The setting makes sense, since everyone likes the scenarios of 4 and 8 with gothic vibes.

Wonder what year this takes place in. Wonder if they played with the idea of having an old Leon.
 
Ethan winters was the worst protagonist in resident evil history and he brought down both resident evil 7 and 8 because of how terrible he was. I'm glad his story is over with and i hope resident evil 9 stars either claire redfield or rebecca chambers personally.

I had my doubt at Dusk and the OP source but if Nate is saying the same, it's a veeeeeeeeeeery high chance of it being true.

The last couple of RE games have all been first announced at a sony state of play too, so there's historical precedent.
 
The most important thing of course is...how do they incorporate 'IX' into the title?

Asked AI for some suggestions:

Resident Evil: FIXATION
Resident Evil: HELIX
Resident Evil: TOXIN (wrong way around)

Resident Evil: ELIXIR
Resident Evil: VIXEN
Resident Evil: CRUCIFIX
