Resident Evil Franchise Set for a Three-Year Release Streak Starting 2026
2025-06-03 23:10:40According to recent leaks, the Resident Evil franchise is gearing up for an exciting three-year streak of major releases. Between 2019 and 2023, Capcom consistently delivered new Resident Evil projects annually, starting with the highly praised Resident Evil 2 remake and concluding with the Resident Evil 4 remake in 2023.
However, fans of the survival-horror series have faced a drought in recent years. While there's still a chance for a new Resident Evil game in 2025, the most plausible scenario suggests the next installment won’t arrive until 2026.
A two-year gap without new Resident Evil games is disappointing, but the franchise might soon compensate with a three-year streak of fresh releases. Resident Evil insider AestheticGamer has indicated that Resident Evil 9 is "very likely" to debut in 2026, followed by remakes of Resident Evil Zero in 2027 and Resident Evil Code: Veronica in 2028. While fans should approach this claim cautiously, Capcom has previously maintained an annual release schedule for the series, and AestheticGamer has a solid track record for leaks.
Next 3 Resident Evil Games, According to the Leaks
- Resident Evil 9 - 2026
- Resident Evil Zero Remake - 2027
- Resident Evil Code: Veronica Remake - 2028
AestheticGamer also noted that the Resident Evil Zero remake underwent "some form of dev change" six months ago, potentially altering its release order with Code: Veronica. Regardless, the key takeaway is that Capcom is likely to deliver new Resident Evil titles annually for at least three consecutive years.
With Resident Evil 9 reportedly arriving in 2026, fans can anticipate an official reveal soon. AestheticGamer previously stated they are "95% positive" that Resident Evil 9 will be unveiled this week. The announcement could occur during the PlayStation State of Play on June 4, Summer Game Fest on June 6, or the Xbox Games Showcase on June 8. Regardless of the timing, Resident Evil enthusiasts have much to look forward to in the coming years.
