Another fresh Resident Evil 9 rumour is doing the rounds today after leaker Dusk Golem has once again spoken about Capcom's upcoming series entry. Previously rumoured to be "internally delayed" at Capcom, it's looking like things might be back on track at the Japanese developer.
Dusk Golem now says that his own information about a delay "can be pushed aside" and instead, Resident Evil fans can look forward to a January 2025 release window for RE9. This should be taken with a generous pinch of salt of course — this same source talked about that internal delay just a week ago — but yeah, hopefully things are on track now at Capcom!
Alongside this fresh release window update, there are some other interesting details here with this latest leak. Dusk Golem says RE9 actually started development way back in 2018, and was being crafted alongside Resident Evil Village over at Capcom HQ. In the end, Village became the next mainline entry of course, meaning Resident Evil 9 now has "the biggest budget & longest dev time of any RE game to date".
Again, we'll wait and see how much of this turns out to be true - and whether March's 'open world' rumour is accurate also. If this new information is correct, Resident Evil 9 should be revealed "pretty soon" ahead of its rumoured January 2025 release date.

Sweet deal. Probably going to be announced this summer at summer game fest.
Chusty, the recent ones are enjoyable so bring it on.
Get finished with RE9 and then have GTA6 right around the corner.
What are the odds it's called RE9? Probably pretty low. I doubt they even try to work the Roman numeral IX into the name like village.
@Savage_Joe it's certainly possible but I'm getting the sense they eventually want to get away from numbered titles all together. Which makes sense as franchises get this high in the numbering scheme.
Oooooo longest development time and biggest budget?? So this can mean great game or campy quick times events like 6 hahahah
Huh! If that release window is true, that’s pretty fast in my opinion! Sort of seemed like a 2026 release to me.
Awesome! I hope it gets announced on the Xbox Showcase.
This Dusk Golem guy has been around for years and most of the time it just seems like he is guessing. Constantly refutes his own claims and gets stuff wrong. Not to mention if he is in fact legit then that means he's in a position of trust at Capcom and routinely betrays that trust for internet cred. Either way, not a guy I put much stock in.
