Resident Evil 10 Delayed to 2029 as Capcom Doubles Down on RE0 and Code Veronica Remakes
Settle in for a long wait: after Resident Evil 9: Requiem, insider Dusk Golem says Resident Evil 10 began in 2022, has faced internal delays, and is now eyeing a 2029 release.
Resident Evil 10 might be a lot farther out than anyone expected. If the latest chatter is accurate, Capcom has been quietly shuffling the series roadmap, and the next mainline game after Resident Evil 9: Requiem is not showing up anytime soon. Buckle up.
The rumor rundown
This comes from Dusk Golem (aka AestheticGamer), a longtime RE leaker with a solid track record. It is still a rumor, so usual caveats apply, but here is what he and other aggregators are saying about Capcom's current plan:
- Resident Evil 10 started development in 2022.
- It was rebooted once during the last couple of years, which pushed it back internally.
- The new target is 'around 2029' for release.
- Before RE10, Capcom is said to be prioritizing remakes of Resident Evil 0 and Code Veronica.
- After RE10, a new remake of Resident Evil 1 is reportedly on deck.
- The idea here: close out the current saga with RE9, revisit older stories via remakes, then kick off a fresh direction with RE10.
So what about Requiem?
Resident Evil 9: Requiem is locked in for February 27, 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2. Dusk Golem has been framing RE9 as a finale and a launchpad at the same time, teasing that it wraps up the Umbrella era and gives Leon S. Kennedy a proper send-off as a mainline lead. He has also hinted that more than just Leon factors into that swan song.
'RE9 is a game of endings and beginnings.'
That wording, plus the rumored RE10 reboot and the planned run of remakes, makes it sound like Capcom wants a clean slate for whatever comes next without abandoning the classics that built the brand.
Why this timeline actually tracks
On paper, 2029 feels far. In practice, it lines up with modern AAA realities. Big-budget development regularly stretches past five years, and Capcom has been methodical lately. The company is in a strong groove with both critical and commercial success: Street Fighter 6 has been a win, Monster Hunter Wilds is a big swing this year, and the RE remakes have been consistently strong sellers. If RE10 really did get rebooted internally, padding the schedule with popular remakes of 0 and Code Veronica buys time without going quiet.
By the time RE10 lands, the series will be pushing three decades of survival horror history. A new RE1 remake reportedly queued up after RE10 heavily suggests a ground-up retelling for a new generation once the current timeline ties off Umbrella for good.
The deep-in-the-weeds part
The leak also mentions a quiet shuffle of Capcom's internal roadmap. Translation: plans moved around behind the scenes, which explains both the RE10 reboot and why the remakes are stepping forward in the batting order. None of this is shocking for a franchise this big, but it does paint a clearer picture of why the next numbered sequel is taking its time.
Temper expectations, but...
It is still a rumor. Timelines slip, plans change, and nothing is official until Capcom says it out loud. But the shape of it all makes sense: finish the Umbrella/Leon chapter with Requiem in 2026, keep momentum with fan-favorite remakes, then swing big with RE10 around 2029.
In the meantime, we are very much playing Requiem on day one. If Capcom is really calling it the end of an era, I want front-row seats.
