For Capcom, releasing the adaptation of Resident Evil 4 might make sense as a lead-up to Resident Evil 9, which is rumored to feature Leon Kennedy once again as a protagonist, though he won’t be alone this time.

According to BioDeclassified, they’ve allegedly accessed insider information about RE9. Here are the details:

Main characters for Resident Evil 9:

  • Leon Kennedy and Jill Valentine will be the protagonists, supported by Chris Redfield and Barry Burton via radio communications.
  • Jill will appear in tactical gear, similar to her look in Resident Evil 5, while Leon’s appearance will resemble Damnation but with an older look.
  • The game’s setting will take place four years after the events of Village.

Plot and setting for RE9:

  • The story will unfold on an island with clones of Eveline created using the Megamycete, with Blue Umbrella lurking in the background and a villain named Mr. Simon. Key locations include a cave, forest, abandoned hospital, and temple.
  • The island inhabitants are said to use a vaccine made from the blood of Rosemary Winters. This game will reportedly conclude the storyline started in RE7 and continued in Village.
  • Throughout the game, Leon will be haunted by a mysterious enemy, while Jill will face off against a creature known as the Goatman.

Playtest

  • Playtests reportedly took place in April and September, featuring Jill and Leon.
