Capcom is all set to shake up the world with yet another gruesome chapter in the Resident Evil series. This according to usually credible leaks that firmly claim that the ninth numbered game in the series will be unveiled later this year, with a planned release in 2026. The insider who goes by the name Dusk Golem points to Summer Game Fest or The Game Awards as the two most likely occasions when this might take place.
