The same user further speculated taking the GTA 6 trailer reveal as an example. GTA 6 also got listed on MetaCritic three days before the first big trailer was dropped.
Resident Evil 9 announcement seems to be postponed until 2025
Fans’ manifestations for the trailer reveal could become true. The reason for this is that since 2019 Capcom always released something associated with the Resident Evil franchise. Starting from the Resident Evil 2 remake, followed by part 3 with the Resident Evil multiplayer as well in 2020. In 2021 Resident Evil Village was released. While in 2022 the Re: Verse multiplayer was launched. The last release has been the Resident Evil 4 remake in 2023.
Therefore fans are waiting till The Game Awards in December, anticipating the announcement of the event as 2024 concludes.
Even so, most of 2024 has passed without any announcement regarding the franchise, which seems to shift to next year. Therefore fans should hold their hopes for any 2024 Resident Evil release.
In addition to the release date of Resident Evil 9, fans have also been speculating about the setting of the game. There had been a rumor that the story of Resident Evil 9 would be based on an island inspired by Singapore.
Lastly, there are other rumors about the development of Resident Evil Code: Veronica alongside the remake of Resident Evil Zero.
However, rumors should be taken with a pinch of salt until any official announcement confirms it.
