The anticipation has been growing for a new Resident Evil <\/em>title following the massive success and critical acclaim of Resident Evil 4 Remake<\/em>. But players are uncertain as to where Capcom will go next. Another remake? A new game? One leaker believes they have the answer. <\/p>
AestheticGamer, more commonly known in the gaming community as Dusk Golem, shared a post on Twitter\/X<\/a> today regarding what they claim to be an upcoming Resident Evil<\/a> <\/em>title. “I’m choosing to be the one to burst the bubble,” they said in the first of several tweets where they claim that Capcom is not going to announce Resident Evil 9 <\/em>this summer, nor is it working on a remake<\/a> of Resident Evil 1<\/em> or Resident Evil 5<\/a><\/em>. So, what is the company developing? Dusk Golem claims it’s Resident Evil 0 <\/em>and Resident Evil: Code Veronica<\/em>, both of which have cult followings and are beloved entries in the Resident Evil <\/em>franchise.<\/p>
“RE9 <\/em>is pushed back to late 2025 or 2026,” Dusk Golem wrote<\/a>, but didn’t have much else to say. These claims are, to put it lightly, quite strange, seeing as it would mean Capcom is making a divergence to work on remakes of spin-off titles rather than mainline entries. Over on Reddit<\/a>, players are skeptical about Dusk Golem’s information, saying<\/a> they had said Resident Evil 9<\/em> would almost definitely be released in early 2025 earlier this month<\/a>. Another user<\/a> said Dusk Golem claimed in 2023 that both RE9 <\/em>and Resident Evil 5 Remake <\/em>were in development yet now claims the contrary. <\/p>
The user was also repeatedly struck with Twitter\/X’s Community Notes, which claim<\/a> they “spread false information about Capcom games.” <\/p>
