One would be a logical step, the other more puzzling — but today’s news suggests there may be some logic behind it.

On Twitter, insider Dusk Golem shared multiple posts about Resident Evil 9. According to him, the game will also launch on Nintendo Switch 2 and PlayStation 4. He believes the PC version has been given the same level of care as Resident Evil 4 Remake, unlike Monster Hunter Wilds, meaning performance should be stable.

(1/3) I won’t be at around the bush, Resident Evil Requiem should be releasing in PlayStation 4 & Nintendo Switch 2, seems this was kinda’ known behind the scenes & in the grapevine. I’m not the first person to say this publicly actually, just corroborating. Talked about it with

RE4R over Wilds for certain. Resident Evil Requiem I think is helped the team behind RE games have a lot of PC experience, don’t need a full open world, & I think they took time to focus on optimizing & polishing the game, alongside reworking a few areas. https://t.co/KewUKQEf2T

Dusk Golem also mentioned the unannounced Resident Evil 0 Remake. He said both Zero Remake and Resident Evil Requiem were originally supposed to release already, but both faced internal delays. Zero received a reboot and switched development teams late last year. Such reboots are common in this franchise and don’t necessarily reflect the final quality of the game, he noted.

Hopefully, this cross-gen approach won’t hurt the final product. Let’s not forget Capcom recently credited Monster Hunter Wilds sales to PlayStation 5, so it makes sense that Resident Evil Requiem, set to launch February 27 on PS5, Xbox Series, and PC, could also appear on PS4.
