Alright, so here’s something I just can’t shake off. Resident Evil 9 — the buzz around it has been like this ghost at a party, always there but never quite showing its face. You know that feeling? Everyone kept saying, “Hey, it’s gonna show up here. No, wait, over there!” But, like, nada. Until today—or whenever this happened, not that I was marking my calendar or anything.
So, right smack in the middle of today’s Summer Game Fest—by the way, side note, does anyone actually enjoy these overly hyped showcases? Anyway, Capcom hit us with a nugget of news. Jun Takeuchi pops up on a screen, much like those surprise guests who bring cake when you’re on a diet. Thanks fans for sticking around, all supportive-like, and drops a hint about more coming soon. I was like, “Okay, standard fare. Move along, folks.” But then—plot twist.
Outta nowhere, bam! We get this creepy little trailer for Resident Evil 9. Oh, pardon—Resident Evil Requiem. Got my heart racing faster than, well, how it does during a horror movie marathon at 2 a.m. And the name feels kinda… I dunno, like Biohazard had a spooky cousin? You can jump into this fright fest on February 27, 2026. Yeah, mark your calendars or whatever.
Now, here’s the kicker—Capcom’s been dropping hints like breadcrumbs in previous vids. Like the ones celebrating Resident Evil 4’s milestone. But, honestly? They were quieter than a sneeze in a library. If you caught them, give yourself a cookie.
Folks are saying Act 9’s gonna push the envelope for the series. Maybe not as much as some folks are losing their minds over, but hey—let’s see what plays out. Capcom knows the gig by now, right? So all of us survival horror nuts are in for a treat—or jump scare.
And yeah, sure, the rumor mill’s gonna keep grinding till the cows come home—or, in this case, till Act 9 drops next year. Keep your ear to the ground or whatever. It’s heading our way for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. Can you feel the excitement, or is it just me over caffeinating again?
