Rumor: Resident Evil 9 is expected to be released in 2025

An advertisement related to Resident Evil 9 should be done soon judging by a leak coming from Dusk Golem, an insider who in the past has already revealed accurate information in advance. In addition to the announcement, the insider reveals that the launch should take place in January 2025.

We can read:

The possible delay I've heard rumors about can be left aside. Resident Evil 9 should be revealed soon and released next year. If what I heard earlier is true, it should be in January. It will have had around seven years of development.

Just to explain one thing, RE9 began development in early 2018 as a possible RE8. Village began development as RE8, then became a spin-off title, and finally became RE8 again. This game ultimately became RE9, and yes, RE8 and RE9 were in development at the same time. RE games are usually approved in batches and planned for a few years to keep the series “almost annual”.

As I've said a few times, there was a funny period in 2018 where RE:2, RE:3, RE:4, RE8, and RE9 were all in development at the same time. There's something similar that happened recently, when another batch of RE games were greenlit in early 2023. RE9 has the biggest budget and longest development time of any RE game to date, and I've previously described it as “ambitious.” . Nothing in this last part is new, they are things I have been reiterating for years.

Resident Evil 9 is characterized as the game with the biggest budget and the longest development time of any game resident Evil until today. The insider previously stated that Resident Evil 9 It's going to be an open world game.
