Oh man, so Resident Evil 9. Yeah, this thing’s been like a ghost, you know? Just hanging around the rumor mill, never really showing up for ages. Insiders kept saying, “Look for it at this event! No, wait, the next one!” But today—wow—it finally made an appearance. About time, right?
So there I was, watching today’s Summer Game Fest. Capcom popped up with a little tease, just enough to keep us on our toes. Jun Takeuchi gave a shout-out to the fans, talking about how they’re super thankful for all the love the series gets. Cool, right? But he was all cryptic, saying more news would come when they’re good and ready. Gets you thinking maybe we weren’t gonna see anything today. And then—bam! Closing time surprise.
Here’s where it got spooky. Trailer drops and guess what? It’s called Resident Evil Requiem. Kinda gives you chills just saying it, doesn’t it? Looks like they’re cranking up the horror dial to eleven—really channeling those Biohazard vibes. Oh, and mark your calendars: February 27, 2026. It’s on.
And Capcom, sneaky devils, they’ve been dropping hints in plain sight—like that video celebrating Resident Evil 4 hitting ten million sales. Did I notice? Nope. Probably too busy daydreaming or something.
People are buzzing about how this is gonna push the series forward. But after hearing rumors, maybe not as groundbreaking as some said. Guess we’ll see, right? Capcom’s got a pretty good track record with this stuff, so I reckon it’ll be that survival horror-action we’re all dying for.
Expect more juicy bits to drop between now and when Resident Evil 9 launches next year. It’s coming to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, by the way. Let’s buckle up for the ride, folks!
