One of the longest - running franchises in gaming is Capcom’sResident Evil . While the serial has hit many stumbling points over the years , Resident Evil 7was a turning power point that brought the survival revulsion series back into the mainstream . Now , the series has break into raw plot and a string ofequally excellent remaking . As fun as revisiting those Graeco-Roman games is , it is the new accounting entry that have lover most worked up , especially yield whereResident Evil 8left thing . That obviously meansResident Evil 9is next up for the core serial publication , but what will that secret plan look like and when can we wait it ? Capcom is concentrate on more imminentupcoming video gameslikeMonster Hunter WildsandOkami 2,but there ’s no incertitude work is being done on its flagship series . point are more secretive than the Umbrella Corporation ’s agenda , but we ’ve collected as many documents as possible to give you all the intel we could find .

There ’s no prescribed release window forResident Evil 9 . In fact , we only know that it is being made and thatResident vicious 7Director Koshi Nakanishi will turn back to direct this entry .
Some leaker have ponder thatResident Evil 9could come as betimes as 2025 , but take that information with some incredulity . Resident Evil 8came out in 2021 , so it is possible this new entry could come next yr , though 2026 seems like a more naturalistic prospect .
Platforms
No platform are confirmed forResident Evil 9 , though we feel it is more than safe to say it will at least come to PlayStation 5 , Xbox Series X / S , and PC . Odds are it wo n’t run into last - gen console table , but we ca n’t be sure .
Trailers
There is n’t even a single screenshot of whateverResident evilness 9will look like . The only small tease come from Nakanishi who stated “ It was really unmanageable to figure out what to do after [ Resident Evil 7],but I found it , and to be honest , it feel substantive . I ca n’t portion out any details just yet , but I hope you ’re frantic for the day I can . ”
Spoiler warningforResident Evil 8 : Since Ethan routine the dust at the end of that plot ’s DLC , we will need a new friend forResident Evil 9 . Rose seems like the obvious option , but Chris is another possible option .
Rumors about Jill potentially being at least one of the main playable eccentric exploring some form of hospital setting start swirling around the internet , however notable leakerDusk Golemapparently has selective information debunking them . According to them “ Jill does n’t play a major part in RE9 unfortunately . This current hospital rumor blow around is 100 % bullshit . crush the Jill hopium now before wrong expectations are place . ” Furthermore , they also say that all other rumour are false as well .
After that statement , anotherleaker called Rinosourced a new rumor from Dusk Golem that states “ Leon S Kennedy is claim or be the principal protagonist of Resident Evil 9 , and Jill was only part of early draft , but wo n’t be have a meaningful role in the plot . ” While the post did admit an range of an quondam Leon , always take these leaks as speculation until we get official confirmation .
Gameplay
Based on who is directingResident Evil 9 , and the way the fresh titles have played so far , we expect this new game to continue with the first - somebody perspective the serial has espouse sinceResident Evil 7.There could be a third - person and/or VR modes added after , but we think it will at least set in motion as another first - person revulsion biz .
Beyond that , the only core things we anticipate to be doing are inventory direction , puzzle out puzzles , and fight down horrific monsters and bosses while exploring a unique location . There are bound to be plenty of conjuration and new mechanic in store , but it would be impossible to guess at what those could be as of now .
Preorder
Sorry , Resident Evilfans , but there is no preorder information forResident Evil 9right now . Until we get a much clearer freeing date , Capcom wo n’t announce what preorder options there will be . We do gestate plenty of editions to cull from , both physical and digital , so stay tuned to this clause for updates .
