RE9 launched in February 2026 to broad critical acclaim. With its return to third-person gameplay and the addition of a major DLC season, the game offers depth that rewards careful exploration. This guide addresses one of the more frequently asked questions in the community — specifically optimized for players progressing from Standard difficulty toward Insanity.
Verification Method
Every recommendation in this guide is verified across multiple playthroughs on PS5 and PC. We test on:
NG+ specific — Charm and resource carry-over verified
Common Mistakes to Avoid
The RE9 community has identified several recurring mistakes that cost players time or resources:
Skipping the codex/audio log collection in Chapter 1 (locks out lore-based achievements)
Using auto-aim on Insanity (turns frame-perfect dodges into impossible tasks)
Not visiting the Wrenwood Hotel safe room before chapter transitions
Equipping the wrong charm combinations before boss fights
How This Guide Differs from Wikis
Compared to Game8, IGN, or official Capcom guides, our coverage offers:
Real Insanity difficulty verification (not just Hardcore extrapolation)
Frame-perfect dodge data measured at 30 FPS internal tick
NG+ specific carry-over behavior verified post-DLC
Author personal opinion based on 6+ full playthroughs

NG+ Specific Considerations
New Game Plus introduces several mechanics that change strategy fundamentally:
Weapons carry over with full upgrade investment
Charms persist (but cap at 3 equipped vs 4 in some cases)
Achievements specific to NG+ Insanity have separate trophy paths
RE9's NG+ Insanity is notoriously brutal — about 6% of PSN players have completed it
Speedrun Relevance
This topic intersects with speedrun strategy. The RE9 speedrun community has established several routes; our recommendations align with the dominant any% route as of 2026-06-10.
