There’s a big Capcom game that will be announced at the end of the year and will be released in the fall of 2024, and it’s likely that RE9 will be announced next year and will be released in 2025.
According to the various rumors, the game is apparently in development under the codename Resident Evil Apocalypse and could feature mythological creatures like the satyr, wendigos, and other folkloric monsters. Dusk Golem also teased another title that Capcom is expected to unveil later this year with a release slated for Fall 2024.
