Based on the reliable Resident Evil Leaker Dusk Golem, Capcom is difficult at work on Resident Evil 9 and is planning to announce the sport subsequent yr, forward of its anticipated 2025 launch. Nightfall Golem additional claims to have the within scoop on all the foremost Resident Evil titles deliberate by Capcom till 2029, however sadly, no additional particulars had been shared.
This is not the primary time Nightfall Golem has shared details about Resident Evil 9. In 2021, the RE leaker disclosed that RE9 has sturdy connections to each RE7 and Resident Evil Village, stating:
I suppose to summarize the previous couple of tweets merely & non-spoilery, know that Village being a direct sequel to RE7 was determined fairly early on, there’s some issues put in RE7 that can make extra sense after RE8. Greater than some other collection of titles within the collection historical past, RE7>RE8>RE9 have a linked, deliberate out story as all ended up in dev shut collectively.
I additionally suspect this is the reason they need to transfer previous numbered titles after RE9, to inform extra self-contained tales slightly than should plan out tales forward of time, however its cool right here.

Along with his daughter Rosemary saved, the tip credit unveil a grown-up model of Rosemary visiting her father’s grave, which is adopted by a title card that reads, “The Father’s Story is Accomplished.”, inviting hypothesis about “The Daughter’s Story”, if any.
In gentle of this, it strongly signifies that RE9 will focus on Rosemary. Being the daughter of mutant mother and father Ethan and Mia, Rosemary possesses a physique composed solely of Mildew, which replicates human DNA. This grants her the identical regenerative powers as her father, making her a perfect protagonist for the upcoming Resident Evil installment.
On the flip facet, Capcom would possibly resolve to give attention to Chris Redfield’s story and his involvement with the BSAA, whereas Rosemary’s story is informed in parallel. This would not be the primary time a mainline Resident Evil title tried following a number of protagonists and storylines concurrently, although the final time that did not work out too effectively.

The precise title continues to be a thriller, however followers are crossing their fingers for both a Monster Hunter: World sequel or a Useless Rising sequel (or perhaps a remake).
The long-awaited Satan Could Cry 6 can be an unimaginable shock too, but it surely’s a tricky ask for the reason that sport’s director, Hideaki Itsuno, is presently tied up with Capcom’s different challenge, Dragon’s Dogma 2, additionally a hotly awaited sequel. Discover a sample?
