A reliable insider is "like 95% positive" that Resident Evil 9 will be revealed at Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest. Resident Evil 9 is the inevitable next entry in the beloved survival-horror franchise. Rumors about the project have been swirling for years, but Capcom has yet to officially reveal Resident Evil 9 to the masses.
Rumors about Resident Evil 9 have been interesting, but conflicting. There have been claims that the game would follow in the footsteps of Resident Evil 7 and Village and be a similar, first-person horror game. Other rumors have claimed that Resident Evil 9 will follow Leon S. Kennedy and Jill Valentine and feature an open world. Luckily, at least some of the Resident Evil 9 leaks and rumors may very well be put to rest sooner rather than later.
Resident Evil 9's 'Reset' Leaks Explained
A major, trustworthy leak for Resident Evil 9 was spotted recently, and it may explain why the game hasn't been shown off yet.
Noted Resident Evil insider AestheticGamer has said that while they are not 100% sure and that they have not been told anything directly, they are "95% positive" that Resident Evil 9 will be revealed at Summer Game Fest. For the uninitiated, Summer Game Fest is set to take place on Friday, June 6 at 2pm PT. The event will be full of exciting game announcements, and it seems as though there's now a really good chance that Resident Evil 9 will be among the reveals. But even though AestheticGamer has a proven track record when it comes to Resident Evil leaks, fans should still take the claim with a massive grain of salt. It's best to keep one's expectations in check until Summer Game Fest rolls around on June 6.
Resident Evil 9 Reveal Rumored for Summer Game Fest on June 6
- Summer Game Fest will air on Friday, June 6 at 2pm PT
When Resident Evil 9 is revealed, it will be interesting to see what exactly the game is bringing to the table. It's been claimed that Resident Evil 9 will feature Leon S. Kennedy as the main character, which would make sense considering his popularity and how well the Resident Evil 4 remake did. There have also been claims that Resident Evil 9 will be a reinvention of the franchise at the same level as the original Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 7, and one has to wonder what exactly that means.
The leading theory is that Resident Evil 9 will be open world, and while there may be some opposed to that direction, Capcom's hot streak can't be denied, and it could open the door to some interesting new ways to experience Resident Evil. In any case, here's hoping the Resident Evil 9 Summer Game Fest rumors are accurate and fans get their answers this Friday.
