Resident Evil 9 Said to Release Early Next Year With an Announcement Being Inbound

Resident Evil 9 is said to be revealed pretty soon, and the game will allegedly still be released next year.

Last week we reported that the next entry in the popular Capcom franchise was internally delayed and that another game in the series could very well be released before it. This information came from renowned Capcom leaker Dusk Golem, who spoke on The Snitch's Discord server. Fast forward one week and Dusk Golet has recanted his previous claim of a delay. If what the leaker has now heard is true, Capcom is targeting a January 2025 release for the game. With a release supposedly coming in a little over 6 months, Capcom is said to be revealing the game pretty soon.

RE9 should be revealed pretty soon & release next year. If what I heard previously holds true, should be in January. It'll have had about 7 years in dev."

Dusk Golem added, "January 2025 I hadn't heard now, just been a date I'd heard previously they probably are still aiming for, but never know in game dev."

Resident Evil 9 has been said to be in development since 2018. The entry will supposedly offer an open-world design in a similar fashion as Dragon's Dogma 2.
