- It is rumoured that Resident Evil 9, with the biggest budget in the franchise, will release in 2025.
- Resident Evil 9 is suggested to be the closing chapter of a trilogy that includes Resident Evil 7 and 8.
- Capcom has not yet made an official announcement about the release of Resident Evil 9.
A rumour claims that Resident Evil 9 has the biggest development budget in the franchise. The rumours also claim that the game will be released in January 2025. Both of these come from the same leaker.
According to the leaker, Dusk Golem, not only does the game have the largest budget compared to previous entries, but it also has the longest development time.
He also claims that we can see the release of the game at the start of next year. “The possible delay I had heard murmurs about can be pushed aside,” he said.
“Resident Evil 9 should be revealed pretty soon and release next year. If what I heard previously holds true, should be in January. It’ll have had about seven years in development,” he added.
According to the rumours, the game has been in development since 2018, and in 2025, it will complete its 7 years of development. Additionally, he claimed that Resident Evil 9 could be an open world game.
Dusk Golem has a pretty good record for making accurate leaks, so these rumours are likely to be true. He also suggests that Resident Evil 9 will act as a closing chapter to its previous entries, Resident Evil 7 and 8, making it a trilogy of games.
With its successful prequels, fans have great expectations for Resident Evil 9 and are eagerly waiting for its release. A Resident Evil fan on Reddit said, “Man I can't wait! The whole series is amazing and I love the direction they've gone with 7 + 8! I hope they keep the overall tone of those games into 9.”
Capcom has yet to officially announce the release of Resident Evil 9. Let’s hope that the rumours regarding this game turn out to be true and that CAPCOM lives up to the high expectations set by this.
