The next mainline entry in the Resident Evil series will be revealed at some point this week, reliable leaker NateTheHate has claimed.

Initially reported by MP1st, it was suggested that Resident Evil 9, as it’s colloquially called, will be confirmed this week, during one of the many livestreams that make up Summer Game Fest. Now, in response on Twitter, the leaker said “the reports from yesterday are accurate”.

Ever since the announcement of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard in 2016, every single new Resident Evil game and remake has debuted during a PlayStation livestream. Of course, earlier today, Sony confirmed a State of Play will take place on Wednesday, 4th June. For just over 40 minutes, Sony plans to share “news and updates on must-play games coming to PS5”. It now seems like Resident Evil 9 will be one of those titles.

While it’s unlikely to be called Resident Evil 9 — especially given Capcom’s recent love for fitting the roman numerals into the game’s title — this instalment should be the conclusion to Ethan Winters’ saga, who was last seen in Resident Evil Village.

The publisher likes to have a fairly short window between the announcement and release of Resident Evil games, so if it is indeed confirmed tomorrow, Resident Evil 9 is likely to launch for PS5 within the next 12 months.
