We all remember where we were when Resident Evil: Village came out and became an instant Internet sensation, but do you remember how long ago it was? Well, it’s understandable if you don’t, because it feels like an eon ago. Village came to us on May 7, 2021 – about four and a half years ago. This kind of blew my mind and got me curious about exactly how many days there are between the launch of Resi 8 and its sequel, Resident Evil: Requiem, which releases on February 27, 2026.
The answer? 1,757 days or 251 weeks, if you’d prefer to think of it like that. To put some perspective on this figure, World War One lasted 1,600 days, Julius Caesar ruled over Rome officially for a measly 730 days – and, the most important metric: the wait between the Nintendo DSi and the 3DS was only 721 days. I mean, if Nintendo can release such big console jumps in a time as short as that, what are we doing, Resident Evil devs?
Fun comparisons aside, we realize that good things take time, and we’d much rather see a lovely and polished Resi 9 than anything that feels rushed because they’re trying to beat an arbitrary time limit.
