Lovers of the horror game series, Resident Evil, may not have to wait too much longer to welcome the newest installation. Rumors are circulating that "Resident Evil 9" will be released in early 2025. This news comes from Dusk Golem, a source who has provided reliable information about this game series several times. According to him, an official announcement from Capcom regarding this game will occur in the near future, with a launch target in January 2025.

Resident Evil 7 has been a turning point that restored the big name of this franchise, followed by the success of several other big projects from Capcom including the remake series. Now, with rumors about Resident Evil 9 strengthening, public expectations are increasing. The game is rumored to have entered the final stages of development after a process that lasted seven years, which if true, would make it one of the longest development periods in franchise history.

Initially, the project now known as Resident Evil Village was intended to be Resident Evil 9, but was later turned into an independent series. If these rumors are accurate, Resident Evil 9 is expected to be a more ambitious game, with a larger investment and longer development duration.

Usually, big games like Resident Evil are announced through big events like the PlayStation Showcase. Rumors circulating also mention the possibility that Sony will hold a large State of Play or Showcase this May, which could be an important moment for this announcement.

However, keep in mind that all this information is still just rumors. Even though Dusk Golem has a good track record, there is still a possibility that the information is not completely accurate. For this reason, fans are advised to remain patient and wait for official confirmation from Capcom regarding the truth of this news.
