The Outerhaven previewed Resident Evil 9: Requiem at Summer Game Fest 2025 during a hands-off demo. New gameplay, perspective swap, and the series' next protagonist were all shown. Here’s what we saw.
Capcom appears to be teasing Resident Evil 9 with hidden "IX" imagery as insiders suggest an official reveal may be coming soon.
Probably same old. Doors that don't open, running out of ammo, typewriter saves, a big house. An open world game is the only way forward.
During the Capcom Next digital show, Capcom confirmed what we knew all along, and that's a new Resident Evil game is in development!
“This was confirmed by game director Koshi Nakanishi during the show’s ending segment:”
So Resident Evil 7s director returns for 9. Sounds good to me. Make it VR please!
I liked 8, but man was it a mess in terms of RE lore and having really any connection to anything. Like, it could be a whole new IP and I’d have never thought for once it was an RE game. I’m hoping with 9 they bring it back to labs and B.O.W.’s and not go so crazy into supernatural mold and R/C Cola magneto man.
RE7 and RE:Village are some of the best experiences in VR i've had. VR redefines how to play horror games and Capcom know it. Regardless of PSVR2 sales, i think the team know its the definitive way to play Resident Evil.
Anyone that disagrees with this simply hasn't played RE on the PSVR2.
Now, who would be the next protagonist? I mean Ethan Winters is dead, I don't know if her daighter might, Chris looks old AF. Will Capcom satisfy once again to thir thirst audience? All this and more on the next episode of RE9
An online retailer has a page for "Resident Evil 9: Revenant Shadows' up alongside RE5 for the PS5, RE: Zero HD Remaster, and Code Veronica.
Probably the only games I'm excited for after seeing the Playstation state of play leaks. I'm glad I kept my expectations low.
Maybe the most underwhelming RE reveal I can think of.
