The hype train for Resident Evil 9 may finally be reaching the station, as a reliable industry insider has stated they are “95% positive” that the next entry in Capcom’s iconic survival-horror franchise will be revealed during Summer Game Fest 2025.
The leak comes from AestheticGamer (also known as Dusk Golem), a well-known source for accurate Resident Evil information. While they emphasized that nothing is confirmed and they haven’t been told anything directly, they’re confident the announcement will happen during Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest, which is scheduled for Friday, June 6 at 2PM PT.
“Not 100%, but I’m like 95% positive RE9 is getting revealed at SGF,” AestheticGamer said via X (formerly Twitter).
Conflicting Resident Evil 9 Rumors
Resident Evil 9 has been the subject of conflicting rumors over the past few years. Some leaks suggest the game will continue in the first-person horror direction seen in Resident Evil 7 and Village. Others claim it will be more traditional, featuring fan-favorites like Leon S. Kennedy and Jill Valentine in a new open-world setting.
Capcom has remained tight-lipped about the project, fueling speculation without providing any official confirmation. Fortunately, if this insider is right, fans won’t have to wait much longer for the truth.
Why Summer Game Fest Makes Sense
Summer Game Fest has become one of the major annual stages for blockbuster announcements, and Capcom has used it in the past to showcase big titles. A Resident Evil 9 reveal here would reach a massive global audience, aligning with how Capcom has marketed previous entries.
Temper Expectations
Despite the high confidence level, fans should still manage expectations. While AestheticGamer has a strong track record—especially when it comes to Resident Evil—plans can change, and nothing is confirmed until it’s officially on stage.
Whether you’re hoping for another terrifying first-person adventure or a return to third-person, character-driven horror, all signs point to Resident Evil 9 stepping into the spotlight very soon. Mark your calendar for June 6—it could be the day the next nightmare is finally unveiled.
