According to well-known leaker Dusk Golem, there are currently five Resident Evil games in development, with one of them being the highly anticipated Resident Evil 9. Dusk Golem has a track record of accurately leaking insider information about horror games before their official announcements, including Resident Evil 8, the Silent Hill 2 Remake, and Silent Hill: The Short Message.

The news about the upcoming Resident Evil games came to light when Dusk Golem made the announcement on Discord, which was later discovered by members of the Gaming Leaks and Rumours subreddit. While the statement was brief, it mentioned that at least one of the titles in development will offer a completely new adventure, while the others are expected to continue Capcom's successful streak of critically acclaimed remakes.

The revelation sparked a discussion in the comments section, with some speculating if one of the projects could potentially be a remake of the 2002's Gamecube version of Resident Evil 1. Despite its widely recognized status as one of the greatest remakes of all time, fans argued that a modernized version could still find a market among those who prefer the more recent entries in the series.

As always with rumors, it is important to take the news with a pinch of salt until Capcom officially confirms its plans. Rest assured, we will keep you updated as soon as any official announcements are made.

In other Resident Evil news, it was recently revealed that the Resident Evil 4 Remake has sold an additional 1 million copies in the past three months, bringing its total worldwide sales to 6.48 million units. This makes it the fastest-selling title in the Resident Evil franchise, although it still falls behind the likes of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil: Village in terms of total sales to date.

Capcom attributed the recent surge in Resident Evil 4 Remake sales to ongoing promotional efforts, including free updates for the PlayStation VR2 version. The company highlighted these strategies in their consolidated financial results, signaling its commitment to supporting and expanding the reach of the game.

As Resident Evil fans eagerly await more news about the upcoming games, the success of Resident Evil 4 Remake and the promise of a new addition to the franchise have only intensified the anticipation within the gaming community.
