A trusted leaker named Dusk Golem expects Resident Evil 9 to appear this year and be released next year. The game might be shown during summer events or at The Game Awards in December. Players will explore a rural town on an island inspired by Singapore, bringing fresh Southeast Asian scenery to the series.
Capcom wants to change how Resident Evil plays, similar to past changes with Resident Evil 4 and 7. Fans should expect something different from Resident Evil Village. The game takes longer because developers want major changes for the horror series. Dusk Golem correctly predicted Monster Hunter: World as an open-world game last year. The same source believes Resident Evil 9 will also feature open-world gameplay.
The reveal could happen at Summer Game Fest, Gamescom in August, or the Tokyo Game Show in September. A December reveal would push the release toward late 2026. Capcom might return to a third-person camera view, but that remains unclear.
