- Jill Valentine and Leon Kennedy are set to appear again in Resident Evil 9.
- An island will serve as the setting for the action.
- However, these new clues could be wrong.
There are already numerous leaks about Resident Evil 9, although Capcom has not yet officially confirmed the development of the game. An industry insider, among others, has suggested that Resident Evil 9 will be released in the second half of 2025.
X user ResiEvilCentral has since shared more information about the project, which was apparently sent to him by a game tester. This information includes details about the protagonists, enemies and the plot.
According to his report, the game is set almost four years after the events of Resident Evil: Village. Jill Valentine and Leon Scott Kennedy are set to reprise their roles as protagonists, while Chris Redfield and Barry Burton will appear as supporting characters.
The enemies in the game are said to have evolved significantly and are reminiscent of the Ganados from Resident Evil 4. These new zombies apparently worship the moon and have corresponding tattoos on their arms. ResiEvilCentral also noted that the game’s main antagonist goes by the name “Mr. Simon.”
Plot
The plot of Resident Evil 9 is said to revolve around an unknown island on which clones of Eveline (antagonist from Resident Evil 7) are created with the help of the megamycete. This island is said to feature various dark locations such as an abandoned hospital, caves, abandoned buildings, a dense forest, an abandoned factory, a laboratory and a temple.

During the mission to explore the island, Chris and Barry apparently support the well-known duo via radio and also mention Rosemary Winters. Their blood will serve as a kind of basis for a vaccine for the islanders. During the course of the mission, Jill and Leon are supposed to become infected with the megamycete themselves.
