The anticipation is building. If rumors are true, we might just see a new Resident Evil installment unveiled this Friday.
AestheticGamer, also known as Dusk Golem, a reputable insider for Resident Evil and Silent Hill news, took to social media to share his thoughts. He’s about 95% sure that Resident Evil 9 will be revealed at the Summer Game Fest 2025. Although he can’t confirm it with absolute certainty, the grapevine has been buzzing with rumors.
What’s behind the buzz?
Dusk Golem points out that the official Resident Evil social media accounts have been more active than usual. Combined with the information he’s gathered from various sources, he’s fairly confident that a new Resident Evil game will be announced at the Summer Game Fest.

It’s worth noting that all of this is still unconfirmed by Capcom, the game’s developer. As with any rumor, it’s best to take it with a grain of salt. However, if the rumors are true, it could be an exciting time for Resident Evil fans.
What to expect
While we don’t know much about the potential new game, the Summer Game Fest 2025 is just around the corner. We’ll have to wait and see if the rumors are true and what the future holds for the Resident Evil series. One thing is certain, though – the gaming community is eagerly waiting to see what’s in store.
As AestheticGamer said,
(1/3) Again, not like I can give 100% confirmation, no one’s directly told me or the like. But at this point I’m like 95% positive we’re on the verge of RE9 being revealed at SGF. This is the first time behind the scenes there’s a lot of buzz in the grapevine, lots of rumblings https://t.co/5po7XsOsVA
