According to insider Dusk Golem, Resident Evil 9 was initially slated for an announcement last summer. However, "internal development delays" have reportedly pushed back the timeline for Capcom’s next big survival horror installment. The game is described as "ambitious," requiring more development time compared to recent Resident Evil remakes. This approach mirrors the extended production timeline of the Resident Evil 2 remake, which underwent significant reworkings before its acclaimed release.
While the insider suggests Capcom is still determining a release window, these rumors remain unconfirmed. Players will have to wait for official updates to learn more about Resident Evil 9's status.
Fan Reactions and Disappointment
The announcement of the Resident Evil 9 game has been well awaited at the much-anticipated Game Awards event slated to take place in 2024, and fans of the game have expressed their disappointment after it was all over. Capcom has announced great projects such as the new Onimusha title or an Okami sequel. Those things were thrown up in the air even after what has been speculated on as Resident Evil 9's potential protagonist story from Capcom itself.

Some fans had mixed feelings - lots of anticipation surrounding the game of Resident Evil 9 with its ambitious scope, but on the other hand, expectations for the release have dragged their spirits down.
Delays Are No Cause for Alarm
In an industry where AAA titles frequently face delays, players shouldn't view these rumors as a red flag. Game studios often prioritize quality over rushed releases to deliver polished and immersive experiences. Capcom’s recent track record, including critically acclaimed Resident Evil remakes, demonstrates its commitment to high-quality games.
As Resident Evil 9 reportedly undergoes additional development, players can take solace in knowing that the extended timeline might lead to a better product.
There is still no news or announcements from Capcom. The players have to wait and stay calm as the much-anticipated Resident Evil 9 is on its way. It seems the studio doesn't have a date yet that could hopefully be fulfilled any time soon for a game of such magnitude. Meanwhile, there is an exciting list of games to look forward to by Capcom in the coming years.
