Summary
According to the latest leaked information, theResident Evilfranchise could be about to begin a three-year hot streak of releasing major new games. From the stretch of 2019 to 2023, Capcom released some kind of newResident Evilproject every single year. The streak started with the critically-acclaimedResident Evil 2remake in 2019 and ended with the release of theResident Evil 4remake in 2023.
Unfortunately for fans of the survival-horror franchise,Resident Evilhas been on a hiatus these past couple of years. While there is still time for anewResident Evilgameto drop in 2025, the most likely scenario is that fans will have to wait until 2026 to play the next game in the long-running series.
A two-year drought ofResident Evilgames is a bummer, but the good news is that theResident Evilfranchise may soon be kicking off a three-year streak of releasing brand-new games.Resident Evilinsider AestheticGamerhas said that it’s “very likely” thatResident Evil 9will release in 2026, theResident Evil Zeroremake will release in 2027, and then finally, theResident Evil Code: Veronicaremake will launch in 2028. While fans should take this claim with a grain of salt, Capcom has stuck theResident Evilfranchise with an annual release schedule in the past and AestheticGamer has proven to be a reliable source of information when it comes to the franchise.

AestheticGamer followed up their tweet about the upcoming newResident Evilgames with a caveat aboutResident Evil Zero. According to AestheticGamer, theResident Evil Zeroremakehad “some form of dev change” about six months ago, and it’s possible that it will ultimately swap places withCode: Veronicain the release schedule. Regardless, the takeaway is that it’s more likely than not that Capcom will have newResident Evilgames to release every year for at least a three-year streak.
WithResident Evil 9supposedly coming in 2026, fans can expect a reveal of the game sooner rather than later. In fact, AestheticGamer previously said that they are “95% positive” thatResidentEvil 9will be revealed this week. It’s possible that the reveal will happen as early as the PlayStation State of Play on June 4, but maybe it will happen at Summer Game Fest on June 6 or the Xbox Games Showcase on June 8 instead. Time will tell, but regardless,Resident Evilfans should have plenty to look forward to these next few years.
