Resident Evilis undoubtedly one of the most iconic gaming franchises to date. With its debut in 1996 on the PlayStation, Capcom’s horror survival series has experienced its ups and downs but still holds a special place in the hearts of many gamers.
So, when a prominent insider leaks that as many as five new games in the franchise could be in development simultaneously, it’s bound to get fans and critics speculating. The success of the recent installments, including the remakes, has set the bar high for potential sequels so it’s no surprise that Capcom is focusing heavily on its flagship series.
Claims Suggest Five New Resident Evil Games are in Simultaneous Development
The leak comes from Dusk Golem (a.k.a. AestheticGamer), well-known for their insider information on theResident Evilseries. They posted this information in the Discord channel of another prominent leaker The Snitch, and screenshots of the message were promptly shared on ther/GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit. Dusk Golem’s message reads,
Yup, I know of 5 RE games in dev right now including RE9.
They went on to say that they recently got a “big update” on a title that has them “really excited”. However, since that title is not slated for release until late 2026 or early 2027, Dusk Golem has decided to “just hold my tongue for now”.

Not only does it have one of the longest development cycles of aResident Evilgame, but it is also going to have the largest budget of any game in the franchise.

For us, as people who love past titles, we are very happy that people in this era can play the games, so we would like to continue to do so.
Capcom has also been sending out surveys to gamers asking which game they would like to see remade in the current generation.
