Speculation suggests that Resident Evil 9 reveal is coming soon as a dedicated page for the game recently went live on review aggregator, Metacritic. We’d normally dismiss this as a placeholder, but Metacritic has previously published pages for unannounced games months prior to their reveal, like in the case of Resident Evil 4: Gold Edition.
Resident Evil 9 reveal could happen as soon as The Game Awards 2024
A link to Resident Evil 9’s Metacritic page has been circulating on ResetEra and X, with fans speculating that a reveal could come as soon as December 2024, when The Game Awards — arguably the biggest industry event of the year — is set to take place.
This lines up with reports from earlier this year that not only will Resident Evil 9 be revealed soon, its release date might be set in early 2025. According to known insider DuskGolem, who has a pretty decent track record, Resident Evil 9 could release as soon as January next year. It’ll reportedly have been in development for 7 years by then.
Going by Capcom‘s release patterns, this doesn’t seem like a stretch but we still ask our readers to take the aforementioned speculation and rumor with a grain of salt.
