Resident Evil 9 Reveal Date Potentially Leaked

Resident Evil fans, get ready—there’s a new buzz in the air about the next chapter in Capcom’s iconic survival horror franchise. Following the highly successful release of Resident Evil 4 Remake, the spotlight has shifted toward Resident Evil 9, or whatever the official title may be. While there’s no confirmation from Capcom yet, a recent rumor suggests that the long-awaited reveal could happen as soon as December 2024.

According to industry insider Lunatic Ignus, who has previously delivered accurate leaks, Resident Evil 9 could be unveiled at The Game Awards 2024, set for December 12, or potentially during a rumored PlayStation State of Play event.

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

The timing of this potential announcement has intrigued fans. Historically, most major Resident Evil game reveals, including Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil 7, and both the Resident Evil 2 and 4 Remakes, have occurred in June. However, there is precedent for a December reveal—Resident Evil 3 Remake broke tradition by being announced at the end of the year.

The speculation surrounding Resident Evil 9 includes the possibility that it will cap off the trilogy that began with Resident Evil 7 and continued with Resident Evil Village. While this is an exciting theory, it remains unconfirmed, and with Capcom’s current focus on the upcoming Monster Hunter: Wilds, the timing of any announcement is uncertain.

As of now, Capcom has not commented on these rumors, and it’s wise for fans to take this information with a grain of salt. The gaming giant is known for maintaining secrecy until an official announcement is ready. Should Capcom break its silence or provide any updates, we’ll keep you informed.
