While recent reports claimed that Resident Evil 9 had been internally delayed, the ‘leaker' who shared that information has since clarified. It turns out the game is not delayed, and could be releasing as soon as early 2025.
According to Dusk Golem, who has a pretty good track record for Capcom leaks, particularly when it comes to Resident Evil, the next mainline game in the series is targeting a January 2025 release date. Better yet, the game should be officially announced soon.
Given Capcom's previous RE-related marketing partnerships with Sony, we would guess that Resident Evil 9 will be announced at the next PlayStation Showcase, which should take place in late May, ahead of Summer Games Fest and well ahead of Microsoft's summer showcase, which takes place on June 9th.
Dusk Golem also shared that Resident Evil 9 has been in development for about seven years, which would mean Capcom was working on it alongside development on Resident Evil Village.

KitGuru Says: The modern RE trilogy is about to wrap up. Hopefully this grand finale can deliver for fans who have stuck with it since RE7 in 2017.
