Perhaps the biggest leak behind Resident Evil 9 has now surfaced, revealing what players have been waiting for in CAPCOM’s anticipated sequel, which has no word yet on when it will release. In this latest rumored detail, the information hinted at the game’s story, plot, gameplay, characters, and more, giving an overview of how the sequel will unfold in the future.

“Resident Evil 9” leak brings extensive details about the story and gameplay

Renowned insider BioDeclassified has leaked the latest information on Resident Evil 9 after recently emerging as an unconfirmed playtester for the game, with the program ending last September. However, be warned that this information contains massive spoilers about the upcoming game, but these should be treated as rumors as they remain unofficial.

First of all, the main characters will revolve around “Resident Evil” veterans Jill Valentine and Leon S. Kennedy, the iconic duo from the previous installments of the series. They are also joined by original characters such as Chris Redfield and Barry Burton as supporting cast.

Jill and Leon will work together to investigate an island known to be the headquarters of the Eveline creators, especially since they have been found to be using Megamycete to create more Eveline clones.

What to expect from CAPCOM’s “RE9”?

Rose Winters will also make an appearance as her blood is needed to create a vaccine for the island’s residents, infecting Jill and Leon with the megamycete. The leaks reportedly suggest that “RE9” will tie together the stories of “Biohazard” and “Village,” which introduced the fungal bacteria.

It was also revealed that Leon Kennedy is constantly being chased and Jill Valentine is attacked by the Goatman in the game.

The main enemies will be zombies who can use melee weapons, similar to the Ganados from “RE4”, and are moon worshipers. On the other hand, the game’s main antagonist will revolve around a new character, referred to only as “Mr.” Simon.’

“The first rumors about Resident Evil 9”

It’s been three years since CAPCOM released the last installment of its famous franchise, but the company still has nothing to share with its fans about Resident Evil 9, although it is believed that teasers were already revealed in Village. In the game’s final cutscene, the team left a hidden message confirming the death of Ethan Winters (forever) and Rose Winters’ appearance in the fight against evil.

Additionally, there are gaming analysts and insiders who believe that the upcoming Resident Evil 9 will be the biggest game of all CAPCOM-published titles, especially since it builds on the hugely successful RE8. Aside from Rose taking on the role of Ethan, there are also beliefs that the upcoming game will see the return of the original characters after taking a detour from Winters’ story.

Early rumors also suggested that in addition to bringing back iconic characters and some expected elements, CAPCOM is also working to make the game an open world that expands the gaming experience for everyone. The latest leak now confirms previous claims regarding the original protagonists returning, joining Rose Winters in this new story and now facing a new threat that will bring the last two games to a standstill.
