Capcom begins teasing Resident Evil 9

We are a few years removed from the launch of Resident Evil Village, which means it is about time we started learning more about the sequel. Capcom has not yet made any official announcements regarding Resident Evil 9 but a recent teaser shows that the company is gearing up for a reveal. 

In a recent milestone video celebrating 10 million players for Resident Evil 4 Remake, Capcom hid a little sign numbered ‘IX'. This was quickly picked up on by fans on social media.

Resident Evil 9 has been in the works since Resident Evil Village shipped. The next game is set to conclude the story that began with Resident Evil 7, which introduced all new characters to the franchise.

According to long-time Resident Evil leaker, Dusk Golem, Resident Evil 9 will be announced later this year, with a release date scheduled for 2026. Typically, Capcom likes to release major titles in the first half of the year, as we've seen in recent years with the likes of Monster Hunter Wilds and Dragon's Dogma 2 being Q1 releases.

KitGuru Says: We've gone a long time with no Resident Evil news. It feels like this summer is the time for that to change.
