Capcom seemingly teased the next Resident Evil in a celebration video for Resident Evil 4 remake but has yet to confirm a reveal date or launch. According to known leaker AestheticGamer, aka Dusk Golem, on Twitter, the survival horror title is still set to be revealed this year.

They doubt it will be delayed further, but it’s unknown if it will be unveiled at the upcoming Summer Game Fest showcase in June or The Game Awards in December. It’s still allegedly launching next year, though once again, whether within the current fiscal year ending March 31st, 2026, or in late 2026 is unknown.

Time will tell, so stay tuned for updates. Aside from Resident Evil 7: biohazard director Kosha Nakanishi leading the sequel, very little is officially known about it. AestheticGamer previously reported that it would try new things and “100 percent” star Leon S. Kennedy as the protagonist. Jill Valentine was allegedly slated to have a “prominent role,” but plans seemingly changed.
