As a seasoned gamer with decades of gaming under my belt and a particular fondness for the Resident Evil series, I can hardly contain my excitement at the prospect of Resident Evil 9 being announced soon! The anticipation has been building steadily over the past year, and if Lunatic Ignus’ latest rumors are to be believed, we might not have much longer to wait.


A trusted source hints that we might hear about Resident Evil 9 quite soon, possibly as early as mid-to-late 2025. The upcoming main installment of the highly praised Resident Evil series is generating a lot of excitement, and it seems fans’ long wait may soon come to an end within the next few weeks.

2024 witnessed a surge of buzz about potential details for “Resident Evil 9,” including its main characters, storyline location, production schedule, probable lead character, and aspiration for an open-world gameplay. Interestingly, the initial plan was to unveil “Resident Evil 9” this summer; however, it seems those plans were suddenly put on hold. Despite this setback, dedicated fans of “Resident Evil” might soon be in store for a thrilling surprise, if the latest gossip is accurate.

A trustworthy source within the gaming industry, known as Lunatic Ignus, has hinted on their Discord platform that Capcom could unveil the next installment in the Resident Evil series, tentatively titled Resident Evil 9, within the upcoming weeks or months. Although the exact timing of this announcement is somewhat unclear, it does align with another intriguing piece of information shared by the insider: Resident Evil 9’s projected release date falls in the second half of 2025. This potential launch window coincides with a previous rumor suggesting a delay for Resident Evil 9 to late 2025, which adds weight to this speculated timeline.

When is Resident Evil 9 Rumored to be Announced and Released?

  • Announcement could happen at either of these upcoming gaming events:
    • Tokyo Game Show 2024 (September 26)
    • The Game Awards (December 12)
    • (rumored) PlayStation September 2024 State of Play (September 24)
  • Release window is reportedly the second half of 2025

If accurate, announcing Resident Evil 9 a year in advance would align with Capcom’s historical approach to releasing Resident Evil games. Lunatic Ignus didn’t disclose any specific locations for the potential reveal of Resident Evil 9, leaving us speculating at this point. Reason suggests that either the Tokyo Game Show 2024 or The Game Awards could be possible venues for the announcement. Given that Capcom will participate in Tokyo Game Show, it’s plausible that Resident Evil 9 might be part of the event, although we’ll only know for sure as time passes.

As a dedicated fan, it’s fascinating to observe the strong bond between Capcom and PlayStation. For instance, the announcement of Resident Evil Village took place during PlayStation’s Future of Gaming event in the summer of 2020. Similarly, the remake of Resident Evil 4 was unveiled during the summer 2022 State of Play. Given this pattern and recent speculation suggesting a September 2024 State of Play next week, it’s plausible that we might be closer to the announcement of Resident Evil 9 than many fans might think.
