Capcom has just given an indirect hint that Resident Evil 9 will be coming in fiscal year 2026. According to tech4gamers.comThis was revealed by the announcement of the results of the internal financial conference for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, which was published directly on Capcom's official website.
On announcements written in the form of Q&A Capcom wrote that it is considering releasing a AAA game in the next fiscal year. It should be noted that the fiscal year in Japan starts in April, so it has now entered fiscal year 2025. Given that fiscal year 2025 has already begun, the AAA game referred to by Capcom is likely to be present next year or early 2026.
However, the document says the release of the mysterious AAA game is still highly dependent on the revenue results of Monster Hunter Wilds, which will be released in February. In addition, Capcom also hopes that Monster Hunter Wilds can have excellent sales figures as capital to release the next AAA game.
If Monster Hunter Wilds fails to meet its sales targets (although it's likely to be a big hit), Capcom is hoping that its upcoming AAA game will bring in big revenue. At least that's what Capcom wrote in its financial announcement.
So what does this have to do with Resident Evil 9?
Capcom had said that the mysterious AAA game planned to arrive in fiscal year 2026 is expected to generate huge revenue. Other than Monster Hunter Wilds, the only AAA game from Capcom that can generate huge revenue is Resident Evil 9. The latest series of horror games even has its own Metacritic page at this time.
Many people have their own speculations about Resident Evil 9, but one leak says that the game will be the most ambitious entry in the Resident Evil series. If the prediction that Capcom will release Resident Evil 9 in fiscal year 2026, then this game will certainly make its debut at The Game Awards 2024.
