Resident Evil 9<\/em> could be on the horizon, with a potential reveal expected soon. According to the latest rumor, Capcom might announce the next installment of its iconic horror series during The Game Awards<\/a> on December 12th, 2024.<\/p>\n

Capcom has maintained the Resident Evil<\/em> franchise’s overwhelming success through consistent updates, including remakes and new entries, which has kept fans eagerly anticipating fresh experiences. However, while the next title in the saga has yet to be officially confirmed, several sources strongly indicate that a major announcement is imminent.<\/p>\n

Lunatic Ignus<\/a>, a well-known insider with a history of accurate leaks, including several details about Black Myth: Wukong<\/em>, has hinted on X\/Twitter (thanks GameRant<\/a>) that Capcom is preparing for the reveal. In fact, according to the tweet, there\u2019s a \u201chuge possibility\u201d that Resident Evil 9<\/em> will be unveiled before the year ends, and The Game Awards seems to be the ideal platform for such a significant announcement.<\/p>\n

Adding to the speculation, a Metacritic page for Resident Evil 9<\/em><\/a> has recently appeared, listing versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. This unexpected appearance has fueled further rumors about an imminent announcement.<\/p>\n

However, sources caution that Capcom may decide to delay the announcement, instead choosing to focus on other projects like Monster Hunter Wilds<\/em>, which is already in the midst of its promotional campaign.<\/p>\n

In related news, there are rumors that beloved characters such as Leon S. Kennedy and Jill Valentine could make a return as playable characters<\/a>. Leaked playtests suggest that the game might take place on a mysterious island<\/a> tied to the origins of the Megamcyete, with Chris Redfield and Barry Burton appearing in supporting roles.<\/p>\n

I also believe the next Resident Evil game will be announced in December, but considering the focus on Monster Hunter: Wilds, it’s safe to say that “it’s just a huge possibility” for that game to be there.<\/p>\n
