Resident Evil 9 Release Date Postponed To 2026
According to Lustfix, Capcom has decided to postpone the release of Resident Evil 9 originally scheduled for the second half of 2025 to 2026. The game requires longer development time and more technical adjustment period.
According to Insider, the atmosphere of this game is very similar to the remake of Resident Evil 2, which is one of the most popular games in this series. This means that the game returns to the classic survival horror style, with closed scenes and psychological tension elements. The behavior of the enemy will be more unpredictable.
Capcom plans to conduct at least two internal tests in the next six months, which means that the gameplay is still being adjusted. Capcom should adjust the gameplay and many other contents of the game based on the results of the test, and the specific release date will be adjusted according to the progress of the game.
Lutusfix, an insider who previously claimed to have participated in the closed test of Resident Evil 9, recently broke more information about the game on Reddit. It is said that the source of the news is Capcom’s US marketing department.
Here are some other news about Resident Evil 9:
- 1. Capcom is not satisfied with the marketing results of Resident Evil 8: Village, and several aspects of the publicity and promotion plan of Resident Evil 9 are being redesigned.
