Summary
A prominent leaker has recently highlighted that a new sale of mostResident Eviltitles could indicate thatResident Evil 9will be announced during Summer Game Fest 2025.Resident Evil 9is all but officially announced, and there’s a big expectation that the title could be revealed soon, which would be huge for fans of the franchise.
Resident Evil Village, the last mainline entry in Capcom’s popular franchise, was released back in 2021. The title was followed by the highly-acclaimedResident Evil 4remake, and various leaks and rumors have surfaced regarding the next mainline entry in the franchise since then. Recently, rumors indicated thatResident Evil 9could be unveiled duringthe upcoming Summer Game Fest 2025.
Now, prominent leaker Aesthetic Gamer, also known as Dusk Golem, has pointed out that there’s a bigResident Evilsale happening right now, with titles such asResident Evil Village: Gold Editionhaving its lowest price ever. Dusk Golem also highlighted that while sales ofResident Evilgames are somewhat frequent, the sales are happening across all platforms with the same prices, which could indicate a special moment. Deep discounts are often offered when new entries in popular series are announced, so this fuels the speculation thatResident Evil 9could be unveiled during the Summer Game Fest 2025 livestream, which will happen on June 6.
Big Resident Evil Sale Could Point Out to an Upcoming Announcement of Resident Evil 9
If the announcement does happen, it would be coherent with other recent rumors. Last month, for example, anotherinsider indicated a possible release date forResident Evil 9, with indications that the game could be out between January 1 and July 08, 2025, after being announced during the event.
Dusk Golem has also talked about other possible releases in the horror franchise, also indicating thatResident Evil 9’s launch in 2026 will be followed by two other games. A remake ofResident Evil Zerocould be out in 2027, with aResident Evil Code: Veronicaone being released in 2028. However, theResident Evil Zeroremake allegedly had “some form of dev change” six months ago, so it may end up swapping places withCode Veronica.
On the other hand, otherrumors indicate that Capcom is not working on aResident Evil 5remake, despite considering the project a possibility in the future. Obviously, gamers should take all of these rumors with a grain of salt, as there’s no official indication thatResident Evil 9will, in fact, be released in 2026.
