Resident Evil 9

It seems like once every decade, Resident Evil drastically changes its formula. After the horror-driven installments with fixed cameras, the franchise transitioned into third-person action games. Then, it partially returned to its roots with a first-person perspective. The series is constantly evolving, and it’s entirely possible that the next stage of its evolution is just around the corner. In this article, we’ll explore which mechanics and ideas Capcom could implement in future Resident Evil games to refresh the gameplay. Many of these elements already exist in projects from other studios.

This article compiles the best horror games of all time across different platforms. The selected titles are not necessarily the scariest in their genre, but they are certainly high-quality and engaging. While the list includes both new releases and fairly old games, they remain relevant even in 2025.

It is always wise to approach gaming rumors and insider information with skepticism, especially when the sources are unverified. The vast majority of leaks turn out to be false, fabricated by attention-seekers. However, it is also true that some of the earliest details about upcoming game announcements do emerge from leaks. Currently, there are circulating rumors that may interest many gamers. While their authenticity cannot be verified with 100% certainty, they are still worth considering as they may prove to be true in the future.

The release of the next Resident Evil isn’t happening anytime soon. When it comes to Capcom projects, the company’s games typically launch about a year after their first trailer drops. But in the case of Resident Evil 9, we don’t even have a trailer yet, only official confirmation that the game is in development. That’s it. So, to help make the wait a little more bearable, we’ve put together a list of games that capture the Resident Evil spirit, along with movies and TV shows that share its eerie atmosphere.

Insider Dusk Golem is 100% certain that the protagonist of the upcoming Resident Evil will be Leon Kennedy. This leak will delight many fans, as they've been asking Capcom to focus on legacy characters in Resident Evil 9 for a long time. However, fans also have other wishes for RE9, which are worth listing in this article.
