Resident Evil 9 Confirmed for Next Year: Promising a Return to Intense Horror

Okay, so I’ve gotta spill the beans here. Resident Evil 9’s been this ghost story, right? Like, whispers and rumors darting around. It was like the universe kept teasing us—I mean, are we seeing it? Are we not? Oh well, the stars finally aligned today.

So, earlier today during the Summer Game Fest kick-off—imagine my anticipation—Capcom steps onto the virtual stage. They dropped a hint about this legendary series’ next sequel. Jun Takeuchi pops up in a video, basically thanking everyone for sticking with Resident Evil. Classic move, right? He says there’ll be more news when they’re all set. Most folks thought, “Okay, pack it up”—but plot twist!

Bam, they hit us with a trailer! Resident Evil 9, or should I say, Resident Evil Requiem. Sounds ominous, doesn’t it? Promising a horror fest that reminds me of Biohazard era chills. Oh, and mark your calendar for February 27, 2026. Just saying.

And get this, Capcom’s been dropping Easter eggs in their videos—like stealthy ninjas. Celebrating RE4’s sales, they slipped in a preview, but blink and you’d miss it.

Now, about RE9’s leap forward. People are talking, saying it’s groundbreaking—though, maybe scale back the hype just a smidge. Who knows? I mean, Capcom’s been mastering this horror-action gig forever. Whatever they’re cooking up, I’m sure it’ll satisfy us Resi diehards.

But, hey, there’s more buzz to come as we inch closer to launch. February feels like ages away, but it’ll sneak up before we know it. Expect it on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. Buckle up folks!
