If the leaks are true (and they just might be), Resident Evil 9 could be crawling into our lives by Q1 of 2026. Yeah, that’s between Jan 1 and Mar 31, 2026. 👻
No official word from Capcom (typical), but leakers are doing their thing. The rumor mill is in overdrive, and fans are HYPED. This isn’t just another whisper — it’s got names backing it.
Who Leaked It? 🕵️
YT leaker ScreenFire Germany’s Andi spilled the beans, saying we’ll even get an official reveal during the Summer Game Fest (June 6 📅). And then came Dusk Golem (aka AestheticGamer), the OG Resident Evil leaker, saying:
“If Andi said it, I believe him.”
“He’s said things I know to be true before.”
So yeah... big W for credibility here.
What’s Cooking in RE9? 🧪
Apparently, RE9 is not just another sequel. It’s being pitched as a massive reinvention, the kind we saw with RE4 & RE7. Expect surprises, twists, and probably some new mechanics that’ll shake the horror genre up (again).
Dusk Golem even called it "huge" in terms of vision & changes. Capcom really wants to evolve the RE experience — which is 🔥.
Leon Might Be Back?! 🔫
Yup, some spicy rumors also suggest Leon S. Kennedy could be leading the story this time. Not confirmed, but imagine the vibes 😩
But Wait... No Open World?
Sad news tho — while there were earlier whispers about RE9 going full open-world, Dusk Golem says those plans have been scrapped. 💀
Apparently, Capcom tested an open-world multiplayer idea, but it didn’t work out. So, back to focused horror storytelling (which, honestly, might be a good thing).
TL;DR
