Resident Evil 9 Confirmed for Next Year, Promises More Intense Horror

Okay, so, you know how Resident Evil 9 was like a ghost everyone was chasing? Yeah, that rumor mill was grinding forever. Insiders kept saying, “Oh, it’ll pop up at this event!” But nah, it stayed under wraps like my old sandwich in the fridge. Until today, of course.

At the Summer Game Fest, which by the way, was already packed with stuff, Capcom finally threw us a bone. Jun Takeuchi comes on screen, right? And he’s all, “Thank you for your support!” Classic line. Also, a teaser about more news when they feel chatty. Everyone thought they were pulling a fast one, wrapping up the show without the big reveal. But oh man, surprise!

Bam! Out of nowhere, we get this creepy little glimpse. They’re calling it Resident Evil Requiem. I mean, that name just screams horror, doesn’t it? It’s supposed to be way scarier, like Biohazard on steroids. And guess what? You can freak out playing it starting February 27, 2026. Yeah, mark your calendars, if you’re the organized type.

Now, there’s been these sneaky hints in videos from Capcom. Like hidden Easter eggs. Maybe during that celebration when Resident Evil 4 hit 10 million copies? Bet most people missed it. Sneaky Capcom.

Rumor is, this game’s supposed to be a big leap forward. Though, some folks might’ve hyped it up a tad too much. Honestly, until it drops, who can say? Capcom’s been running this horror game show for ages. They’ll probably nail it, as usual. Horror, action, and all that jazz — fans are stoked.

You know the drill: more juicy details will roll out over time. Resident Evil 9’s being crafted for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. Just sit tight and wait for the chaos!
