The highly anticipated ninth installment in the Resident Evil horror game series has yet to receive a release date. The game has been in production since 2018, long before Resident Evil: Village was released. The most recent RE game left players hanging on a number of questions that need to be addressed in the sequel. The creation of RE 9, which has been anticipated with great anticipation by fans, is reportedly well under way.
There has been no official word from Capcom Games as of yet. But by the end of the year following, we anticipate that to have been completed. Despite this, there are a few things we may guess about the new Resident Evil game. See what we have learned so far about it below.

The Release Date and Description for Resident Evil 9
Neither a release date nor an official announcement for Resident Evil 9 have been made as of yet. Even the existence of the game’s development at Capcom has not been publicly confirmed. While RE: Village was released in 2019, a prolific insider, AestheticGamer alias Dusk Golem, has disclosed that RE 9 has been in development since 2018.
He also announced that the development time for RE 9 will be the longest of any game in the series. It will be in the works for another six or seven years. It looks like Resident Evil 9 won’t be out until 2024 or 2025 at the earliest. The release date may be announced a year or two in advance, and promotional materials will begin appearing several months beforehand. As soon as we hear more from the developer, we will post an update.
What to Expect from Resident Evil 9’s Plot and Gameplay.
Golem has also stated that Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Resident Evil 8: Village would conclude with Resident Evil 9. The first two books were told from the protagonist’s point of view. It is expected, however, that the series would once again use the Third-person perspective that has proven so popular with fans.
Leaks posted on 4Chan suggest that Chris, Claire, Leon, and Jill will return for Resident Evil 9: Apocalypse. The game will have a semi-open setting like the Village and will aim to wrap up the stories of the original cast.
The game will be single-player only, have a “Innovative partner system,” combine elements from bio2 and bio breakout, and evoke a primal fear of the unknown and the terror of deep forests through its ambiance.
From what we can tell, the events of RE 9 will pick up just after the conclusion of RE Village. In the end, Rose was working in secret for Christ Redfield, who has snipers constantly aiming at her to keep her under his control. Given the background, it’s possible that Rose may take the stage in the next episode.
Duke may play a pivotal role in the next act, and Chris won’t have any trouble convincing Rose to continue his work. His focus is clearly on the Winters clan. It’s possible that RE9 will shift its attention from Ethan Winters to another character.
However, he has the potential to significantly alter the dynamic. In addition, there is a shadowy group only referred to as “The Connections.” We anticipate learning more about them and discovering whether or not they are affiliated with the Umbrella Corporation. This leaves RE 9 with a varied terror, supernatural abilities, exhilarating action, and many other interesting components, and a dynamic plot.
Who Will Appear in Resident Evil 9?
Rose and Chris will undoubtedly appear in the next chapter, as evidenced by the ending and post-credit scene of RE Village. Clues about Resident Evil 9 have suggested that we’ll see familiar faces like Claire Redfield, Leon S. Kennedy, and Jill Valentine.
It’s possible that Ethan Winters may be an integral part of the upcoming chapter as well. A piece of concept art for Village has also shown that fan favourite Ada Wong will be playable in the forthcoming game.
Capcom has room to diversify the cast by adding fresh faces. I’m looking forward to learning more about the mysterious person we seen at the close of the previous chapter.
What will the System Requirements be for RE 9?
There is currently no confirmed information regarding which systems Resident Evil 9 will support. On the other hand, we anticipate the game to debut first on next-gen platforms alone. It will be compatible with the PlayStation 5 and Xbox One S.
After that, it might become live on Steam and Microsoft Windows PC. Speculation also suggests that Nintendo Switch could get its own port of the game. We don’t know if the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One versions will be released. For nearly 25 years, the Resident Evil series has been shocking players. The reception of their most recent offering from the public was overwhelmingly positive.
