Insider Claims Resident Evil 9 Will Be Revealed At Summer Game Fest

Summary

  • Capcom might reveal Resident Evil 9 soon at Summer Game Fest.
  • Rumors suggest RE 9 may revolutionize the franchise like RE4 and 7.
  • The rumor hints at a Q1 2026 release for Resident Evil 9.

It’s been confirmed by Capcom that they are indeed developing the next installment in the Resident Evil series, but beyond this, very little information has been disclosed about it.

According to the latest gossip, it seems that we might get further details about the title quite soon now. Specifically, it’s being suggested that an announcement could come as early as this week.

According to Screenfire Germany’s latest news, there’s speculation that the first trailer for Resident Evil 9 will debut during the Summer Game Fest event starting on June 6.

Resident Evil 9 Said To Be Part Of Summer Game Fest’s Surprises

The source asserts (using machine translation), “It’s important to note that the following details come without a warranty, because I’m not certain about any potential changes or appearances. However… Well, let’s be honest. We anticipate the unveiling of the first trailer for Resident Evil 9 during Summer Game Fest on June 6, 2025, with a tentative release in the initial quarter of 2026. I’m speculating that it might be towards the end of March, as Capcom hinted in their financial report that they don’t foresee substantial sales growth by then (Q1). That’s why it seems likely to be around the end of March, and yes, it aligns nicely with the series anniversary.

It’s clearly mentioned that we’ll be provided with the release date details during the event. Just like any other rumor, take this one with a pinch of skepticism until Capcom verifies it through official confirmation.

It’s plausible that Capcom will unveil Resident Evil 9 during Summer Game Fest, considering the event has taken on a similar role to E3. Since Resident Evil 8 (RE: Village) was launched in May 2021, which is nearly four years ago, it’s been long overdue for Capcom to announce when we can expect the next installment of their popular horror series. With Capcom hinting at Resident Evil 9 just last month, a Summer Game Fest reveal could very well be on the cards.

It’s now been more than two years since the release of the Resident Evil 4 remake on March 24, 2023, and since then, there hasn’t been any official announcement about a new Resident Evil game. Although Capcom has confirmed that Resident Evil 9 is under production, they have not yet shared whether we can expect a remake of Code Veronica or Resident Evil 5.

The wait won’t be long now, as Summer Game Fest kicks off on June 6 at 1:45 PDT/4:45 pm EDT.
