After Resident Evil Village, some wondered who the new main character might be. Perhaps Capcom has one candidate
So far, Capcom is in no hurry to reveal all the secrets of the next Resident Evil, which gives scope to various insiders and fan theories. Now they are actively discussing the latest information from Dusk Golem, which sometimes still “hits the mark.”
It is assumed that the events of Resident Evil 9 will unfold in a certain country in Southeast Asia . At a minimum, this is relevant for the initial stage of the game, and later as the story progresses, the region may change.
There is also a rumor circulating around the community about the supposed main character – supposedly in Resident Evil 9 will not only return Leon Kennedy, but also become a full-fledged protagonist, who will already be 48 years old (the events of the story date back to 2025).
In 2026, the Resident Evil franchise (biohazard in Japan) will celebrate its anniversary – the original game was released in 1996.
The project has already had a remake, but it is made in the “classical style”, i.e. with a fixed camera. There has also been talk for a long time about the potential return of RE1 in the style of a remake of parts 2 and 3 (as well as about RE Code: Veronica).
