Everything we know about Resident Evil 9: Release date, story, and more

The release of Resident Evil Requiem, otherwise titled Resident Evil 9, is fast approaching. The most anticipated horror game of 2026 was first announced last June at Summer Game Fest and has since released a steady, but slow, drop of information of what to expect in the latest survival horror title. From official trailers to leaks, it seems Resident Evil 9 is combining the iconic past of the series with a new direction for the future.

After Resident Evil 8 seemingly wrapped by the story of Mia, Ethan, and Rosemary Winters, fans were left wondering what the next entry in the Resident Evil series would feature for its characters, story, and enemies. While we’ll have to wait for next spring to experience the full game, here’s what information Capcom has revealed so far about the ninth mainline game in the Resident Evil series.
