For Resident Evil fans, the series continues to churn out new releases periodically. Just this past year, Resident Evil 4 Remake arrived to modern consoles. What’s more, the game in the most recent sales update revealed it is the best-selling release for the series with over 6 million sales in just over a year. Now, word on a new mainline title is surfacing online.

“RE9 started early dev in early 2018 as a possible RE8. Village has started dev as RE8, then became a spin-off title, then ultimately became RE8 again. This game became RE9 ultimately, & yes, RE8 & RE9 were in dev at the same time,” the leaker elaborated in the thread. Additionally, this project is framed the most ambitious and with the largest budget for any Resident Evil title to date seeing the wait time since the development began.

Dusk Golem in the past has proven to be a reliable source on many Japanese projects prior to being announced. In 2020, the user gave a similar disposition on Resident Evil Village sharing what to expect alongside the unique European design choices for the game. What’s more was that the leaker also proved to be correct on Silent Hill as well.
