Resident Evil 9 Rumor Reveals Story, Characters, and Gameplay Details

by

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I’ve witnessed the evolution of Resident Evil from its humble beginnings to the terrifying behemoth it is today. The latest rumor about Resident Evil 9 has certainly piqued my interest!

A fresh speculation about Resident Evil 9 has popped up online, dishing out a heap of presumed particulars regarding the upcoming Capcom game slated for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X. Unlike previous leaks, this one does not include a release or unveiling date, only storyline and gameplay details to whet our appetite. Notably, it hints at the identities of the main characters. Proceed with caution, as potential spoilers are discussed below.

Based on recent chatter, it appears that Resident Evil 9 is set four years after the occurrences depicted in Resident Evil Village (or Resident Evil 8). In this new installment, Jill Valentine and Leon S Kennedy will take center stage as the primary characters. Additionally, Barry Burton and Chris Redfield are set to reappear, contributing to the storyline as secondary characters.

In the description of Jill Valentine, it’s pointed out that her attire is more focused on tactical gear. For instance, her appearance resembles how she was portrayed in Resident Evil 5: Lost in Nightmares, although she retains a physical appearance similar to her depiction in Resident Evil: Death Island. On the other hand, Leon S. Kennedy appears to have aged significantly, sporting an outfit reminiscent of his look from Resident Evil: Damnation.

The rumor unveils that the central storyline of the game involves characters Jill from BSAA and Leon from DSO exploring an island inhabited by a company responsible for creating Eveline. It’s speculated that this company is using the Megamycete to mass-produce clones of Eveline, eventually leading to their infection – Jill and Leon – at some stage in the game.

The storyline involves the reappearance of Blue Umbrella and Rosemary Winters, who plays a crucial role in developing a vaccine for the island’s inhabitants by using her blood. Key locations on the island include an Abandoned Hospital, Caves, Abandoned Houses, a Dark Forest, an Abandoned Factory, a Laboratory, and a Temple.

Regarding adversaries in this context, they are often referred to as “advanced undead creatures,” similar to Ganados from Resident Evil 4, as they wield melee weapons. These undead entities seem to reverence the moon and display numerous moon-themed tattoos on their bodies. It’s also worth mentioning that these zombies frequently sing to the moon. In terms of the protagonist, Leon is persistently pursued by a cryptic adversary throughout the game, while Jill encounters the Goatman as her enemy. Lastly, the antagonist in this storyline is a fresh character named Mr. Simon.

The final salient detail divulged by the rumor is that the game and its story will put a close to the Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil Village story with the Megamycete.

Regarding the origin of the rumor, it stems from Biohazard Declassified, a reputable source in the Resident Evil community. They attribute the information to an unnamed tester who had access to the game prematurely.

As an avid fan, I want to emphasize that everything you see here should be taken with a pinch of skepticism. This information, for now, remains unverified and is merely a rumor. So far, there’s been no official comment from Capcom regarding this matter. If anything changes, we’ll make sure to update the story promptly.
