Resident Evil 9 Reveal is happening in 2025, Check Full Launch Details

Resident Evil 9’s reveal is apparently “100 percent” gonna happen this year, and they say it’s launching in 2026, based on rumors from a pretty reliable insider. Capcom hasn’t said anything officially, but a bunch of leaks and tips narrowed down when we might see it and when it might come out. Here’s what’s floating around right now.

Insider Report & Reveal Timing

An insider who goes by AestheticGamer (also known as Dusk Golem) says Resident Evil 9 is “almost 100%” certain to get revealed this year, maybe as soon as this summer or maybe at The Game Awards in December. They also said there’s little chance it’ll be delayed again, so it seems like a 2025 reveal is locked in. Capcom’s history shows they like June events for Resident Evil announcements, like E3 back in the day, or State of Play, or Summer Game Fest.

Potential Launch Window & Fiscal Year

Reports say the sequel will launch in 2026, but nobody knows if that means before Capcom’s fiscal year ends March 31, 2026, or later in the year after their new fiscal starts. The insider doubled down that it’s “100 percent” on track for a 2026 release, so it seems like chances of postponement are small.

Possible Reveal Events

People are speculating it’ll show up either at Summer Game Fest in June 2025 or at The Game Awards in December 2025. Both events have been big stages for Capcom in the past, so it makes sense one of them is where RE9 will pop up.

Rumored Setting & Development Details

Some leaks hint RE9 might be a semi-open world game on a remote island in Southeast Asia, full of ancient temples, abandoned hospitals, and secret labs. They say it’s directed by Koshi Nakanishi—who worked on Resident Evil 7—and it’ll focus more on exploration and puzzles instead of purely linear storytelling.

What We Know So Far

Outside of timing and setting bits, Capcom’s been silent. There was a tiny tease in the Resident Evil 4 Remake anniversary video that felt like they were gearing up for something bigger. No platforms confirmed, though PS5 and PC are almost guaranteed given how the series usually goes.

With strong insider confidence for a 2025 reveal and the game hitting shelves in 2026, excitement is definitely building. But until Capcom speaks up formally, all these windows and features are just rumors. Keep an eye on major summer and year-end events for the real announcement.
