Alright, so here’s the thing. I’ve been waiting, like, forever for Resident Evil 9 to drop some hints. You know how insiders always think they know stuff? They were babbling that we’d see it soon. Like, at every single gaming show. But nope — it was this weird limbo situation until, surprise, today changed everything!
So, during today’s Summer Game Fest, Capcom pops up with this little nugget. They had Jun Takeuchi, all calm and collected, saying thanks to us fans for sticking around. And he hinted at dropping more info soon. Totally classic move, right? I was bracing for them to end without really showing us anything. Then, boom, the unexpected hit us.
A trailer popped up. Not just any trailer, but a creepy one, for Resident Evil 9. They’re calling it Resident Evil Requiem. And wow, it’s got that unsettling vibe, like Resident Evil Biohazard. Somehow scarier? Who knew! Circle your calendar, though — February 27, 2026, it’s game-on time.
Weird thing is, Capcom’s been sneaky about this. Dropping tiny hints in their videos. Like the one celebrating Resident Evil 4’s epic 10 million sales. But it was all so blink-and-you-miss-it. Sneaky Capcom.
People are buzzing that RE9 is gonna be a big leap for the series, although, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Reports might’ve blown it up a bit. Who knows, right? There’s still so much under wraps. How much of those leaks are real is anyone’s guess. Capcom knows how to keep us hanging, though. Expect the usual, terrifying, action-packed survival chaos we’ve come to love.
And, you know how it goes — they’ll drip-feed us more stuff before RE9 finally hits the scene. Set your reminders and gear up for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. Can’t wait!
