While Capcom hasn't officially confirmed these details, it is known that development on RE9 is underway. It has also been teased that Resident Evil 9 may venture into an open-world format but remain true to the franchise's horror roots. Whether this bears fruit and reflects in the actual game will depend on Capcom's forthcoming announcements and releases.

Given the history of the series and the anticipation building around the new installment, it's clear that any official news regarding Resident Evil 9 will be a major event for fans and could potentially make waves in the gaming community.n

When is Resident Evil 9 expected to release?

Based on the claims by the insider Dusk Golem, Resident Evil 9 might be revealed soon and is expected to release in January of the following year. However, these details are yet to be officially confirmed by Capcom.

For additional context, Resident Evil, developed by Capcom, has been a staple in the gaming industry since its initial release in 1996. The series revolutionized the survival horror genre with its combination of puzzle-solving, exploration, and combat, all set within a narrative that often features a zombie apocalypse caused by the outbreak of the T-virus. Capcom has developed numerous sequels, spin-offs, and remakes over the years, evolving the series with new gameplay mechanics, stories, and characters while retaining the core elements that fans love.
