- An insider states that Resident Evil 9 will have been in development for nearly a decade by the time it releases.
- This will make it Capcom’s most time-consuming project to date.
- The game is said to be incredibly ambitious, and an official first look is expected later this week.
With the gaming showcase season in full swing, expectations are high for Capcom’s Resident Evil 9 debut. Yesterday’s State of Play saw the gaming giant highlighting Pragmata for the first time in many years, and insiders believe Resident Evil 9 is next at Summer Game Fest.
Ahead of this event, new details regarding the title continue to show up through rumors and insider reports. As per a popular leaker, Resident Evil 9’s development cycle is so extensive that it is now Capcom’s most time-consuming project ever.
Why it matters: Capcom has a solid track record of releasing games at an acceptable pace, making it one of the most efficient teams in the industry.
As per Dusk Golem, the insider behind much of the latest Resident Evil 9 information, Capcom has spent nearly a full decade working on the project.
He states that the latest iteration of the IP has already been through its main delay phase. The insider believes that by the time Resident Evil 9 arrives in the hands of players, it will have become the Capcom project with the longest development cycle.
For context, the game is expected to launch sometime next year, resulting in around 9 full years of development, a fitting timeline for what is described as the most ambitious entry in the iconic franchise to date.
Moreover, Resident Evil 9 could end up as Capcom’s most expensive production to date due to this timeline.
The game is said to be merging open-world elements into the series’ signature horror formula. This new approach, along with Capcom’s focus on optimization, has led to a project that has perhaps taken longer than fans would have liked.
