Resident Evil 9 Leaker Asks Fans to Brace for Major Changes

It has been nearly four years since Resident Evil Village launched for PS5 and PS4. While Capcom has released games within the franchise, including Resident Evil Re:Verse and the Resident Evil 4 remake, the next mainline entry has yet to be revealed.

However, it seems we may finally get the first look at Resident Evil 9 sometime this year according to a known leaker.

Resident Evil 9 is a “big reinvention of the series,” leaker claims

According to Dusk Golem, most known for their horror video game leaks, Resident Evil 9 will “almost definitely” be revealed sometime this year. They also claim that the reason why it has yet to be revealed is due to the scope of the game. It is, supposedly, a “big reinvention of the series,” similar to how entries like Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 7 revolutionized the franchise.

(2/2) is taking so long is because it's like a big reinvention of the series, to the same level as RE4 & RE7. It's not going to play just like RE7/RE8 or the Remakes, it's trying new things & very ambitious. It will almost definitely be revealed this year, so just hold tight.— AestheticGamer aka Dusk Golem (@AestheticGamer1) March 17, 2025

“The thing I think people will realize when RE9 is revealed is the reason this game is taking so long is because it’s like a big reinvention of the series, to the same level as RE4 & RE7,” claims the leaker. “It’s not going to play just like RE7/RE8 or the Remakes, it’s trying new things & very ambitious. It will almost definitely be revealed this year, so just hold tight.”

Details on Resident Evil 9 are very sparse, and are mostly just rumors. One rumor suggests the next mainline entry in the beloved horror franchise will be open-world.

One concrete detail we do know is Resident Evil 7’s Koshi Nakanishi is heading development for Resident Evil 9, which was revealed during Capcom Next last year.

”We’re making a new Resident Evil,” Nakanishi said during the Capcom Next showcase. “It was really difficult to figure out what to do after (Resident Evil 7). But I found it, and to be honest, it feels substantial. I can’t share any details just yet, but I hope you’re excited for the day I can.”
