The next big “Resident Evil” game could be released as early as early next year. The last game in the Capcom franchise was the remake version of the classic “Resident Evil 4”. In addition to getting great reviews from the public, it was also highly praised by specialized critics. Without a doubt, one of the best games of 2023. But now “Resident Evil 9” may appear. See below.
As some rumors already indicated, 2024 should not feature any release of the series. The latest news was the Separate Ways DLC, which shows the main campaign of “RE4” from the point of view of the mysterious agent Ada Wong.
“Resident Evil 9” could be on the way
Now, a new rumor suggests that, in January 2025, after seven years of development, an unprecedented title will be presented to the gaming public. The game in question would be “Resident Evil 9”, the project with the biggest budget in the history of the franchise.
This new information, shared by insider DuskGolem, goes against another rumor that previously said that the game had been postponed indefinitely.

Previously leaked information indicates that the “RE9” project would, in fact, be “Resident Evil 8”, but “Village”, which was initially in production as an expansion pack, ended up changing course and taking over.
A few months ago, some insiders claimed that the next game in the series would be an open world game. This would be possible thanks to advances made during the development of “Dragons Dogma 2”, which made its debut earlier this year.
If the information is confirmed, this should be the first game in the franchise in this format, which could displease more casual players who prefer a shorter, more linear adventure.
Finally, as usual, Capcom has not yet publicly commented on the information and has not revealed whether it intends to continue developing remakes of classic “Resident Evils”.
