Resident Evil 9 Insider Warns Fans to Prepare for Significant Changes

It’s been almost four years since Resident Evil Village graced our PS5 and PS4 consoles. Capcom has kept fans engaged with titles like Resident Evil Re:Verse and a remake of Resident Evil 4, but there’s been radio silence about the next major installment—until now, perhaps.

We’re buzzing with anticipation as a well-known leaker suggests we might finally catch a glimpse of Resident Evil 9 later this year.

Famous for their reliable horror game insights, Dusk Golem claims Resident Evil 9 is poised for its big reveal sometime in the upcoming months. They suggest the delay in unveiling it stems from the game’s ambitious nature. This isn’t just another sequel; it’s described as a complete overhaul of the franchise, reminiscent of how Resident Evil 4 and 7 shook things up.

Dusk Golem shared, “What I think will become clear when RE9 gets announced is the reason for the long wait. It’s setting up to reinvent the series in a dramatic way, akin to what RE4 and RE7 did. It won’t play like RE7, RE8, or the recent remakes. The game is aiming high with fresh concepts, and it’s something quite bold. Expect it to be shown this year, so stay tuned.”

Right now, specifics on Resident Evil 9 are murky, with speculation running wild. One intriguing rumor hints at an open-world experience. But what we do know for sure is that Koshi Nakanishi, who orchestrated Resident Evil 7, is leading this new venture. This was confirmed during Capcom Next last year.

During the showcase, Nakanishi teased, “We’re building a new Resident Evil. After RE7, deciding our next move was challenging. But we’ve found our path, and honestly, it’s significant. While I can’t dive into specifics just yet, I’m eager for the moment I can share more details with you all.”
