There are currently “five Resident Evil games in development, including Resident Evil 9,” according to the well-known leaker Dusk Golem. While Dusk Golem has had a few misses in the past, the leaker has also accurately revealed insider information about various unannounced horror games, such as Resident Evil 8, Silent Hill 2 Remake, and Silent Hill: The Short Message.
As discovered by vigilant members of the Gaming Leaks and Rumours subreddit, Dusk Golem apparently shared this information on Discord. In a concise statement, Golem hinted that at least one of the upcoming titles will be a completely new adventure, while the others are expected to continue Capcom’s streak of critically acclaimed remakes.
The revelation sparked a discussion in the comments section, with some speculating whether the projects might include a remake of the 2002 Gamecube release, Resident Evil 1, despite its widespread recognition as one of the greatest remakes of all time.
One optimistic commenter expressed, “Remake is fantastic, but it is 20+ years old. Whether or not it’s objectively needed, there is a market for fans who prefer the modern games, and it would be more than a sound investment.”
As is customary with rumors, it’s advisable to approach this news with a degree of skepticism until Capcom officially confirms or denies the information. Once Capcom provides clarity, we’ll keep you informed.
In case you missed it, recent reports indicate that Resident Evil 4 Remake has sold an additional 1 million copies in the last three months, bringing its total global sales to 6.48 million units.
While it stands as the fastest-selling Resident Evil title, surpassing others in recent months, it still trails behind Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil: Village in terms of overall sales. Capcom attributes these recent sales to ongoing promotional efforts, including free updates for the PlayStation VR2 version, as stated in their recent consolidated financial results.
