New details about Resident Evil 9 have been leaked, revealing that Jill and Leon will be the protagonists in the game, and we have some interesting gameplay and settings planned.
The gaming community is really excited because new information about Resident Evil 9 has come out. This information is coming from Andi, a well-known leaker from Screenfire Germany, and Dusk Golem shared these details.
Andi has been right before with leaks about the RE0 and RECV Remakes, revealing them months before they were officially announced, so the source is credible. Here are all the recently leaked details about Resident Evil 9.
Resident Evil 9 Protagonists: Jill and Leon
The big news from the leak is that Resident Evil 9 will have both Jill Valentine and Leon S. Kennedy as main characters. This is a major change for the series because it’s the first time these two beloved characters will be together in a game.
Jill Valentine hasn’t been in the series since Resident Evil 5, but she’s coming back in a significant role. She’ll be like Sheva in Resident Evil 5, teaming up with Leon.
Leon S. Kennedy was last seen in Resident Evil 6 and has become more popular again after the 2023 remake of Resident Evil 4.
Gameplay and Design
Resident Evil 9 was initially designed as a co-op game, but the developers at Capcom may have decided to pivot towards a single-player experience. This decision could be influenced by the positive reception to the single-player experiences in Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil Village.
While the game is not expected to be fully open-world, it will incorporate open-world elements, similar to Resident Evil Village and Resident Evil 4 Remake.
The co-op aspect, if retained, could be designed in a variety of ways. It could be similar to Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6, where players could play together. Alternatively, it could be like Resident Evil 0, where players could freely switch between characters.
Another possibility is that there might be two separate campaigns for each character. These design choices will significantly impact the gameplay and overall experience of Resident Evil 9.
Storyline and Setting
The storyline and setting of Resident Evil 9 are still a mystery.
While the supporting characters for the game are not yet known, there’s speculation that Barry could be a supporting character for Jill and Ada for Leon. Interestingly, the game is not expected to focus on Blue Umbrella or the BSAA cliffhanger from the end of Village.
Moreover, the enemies are expected to be zombies, but they’ll likely be faster and more aggressive.
Release Date and Expectations
Resident Evil 9 might be officially announced in 2024 and could come out in 2025. It’s been in development for seven years, showing Capcom is focused on making it top-notch. Fans and critics are expecting a lot from it because of the long wait.
The game is expected to be the biggest in the Resident Evil series. People are especially excited about the idea of Jill and Leon teaming up.
Until we hear more, one thing is clear – Resident Evil 9 looks like it could change the series and become a new standard for survival horror games.
