Resident Evil fans losing their minds over surprise RE9 teaser

Each of us will have a list of games we’re desperate to see announced.

For me, The Last of Us Part III easily tops that list, but for you horror lovers, I’m imagining it’s Resident Evil 9 that you’re craving.

Technically, Resident Evil 9 has been announced, although it hasn’t received anything in the way of a full reveal.

Instead, Capcom simply confirmed its existence in July of last year.

The latest instalment is believed to star both Leon S. Kennedy and Jill Valentine as playable protagonists which sounds pretty dang exciting, although I urge you to take this information with a pinch of salt for now.

It’s been four years since the last mainline instalment in the franchise, Resident Evil Village, landed - that’s not including remakes.

Interestingly, four years split Village and the previous mainline instalment, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, so it stands to reason that Resi 9 could drop anytime now.

Capcom seems to be gearing up for a full reveal, unveiling a classic teaser eagle-eyed fans have recently spotted.

Horror fans will adore the new Until Dawn film.

In previous years, Capcom has teased its next Resi instalment via the use of roman numerals - and that is once again the case when it comes to Resi 9.

A video was recently launched to celebrate Resident Evil 4 Remake reaching 10 million players.

Partway through the video, a peculiar street sign could be seen featuring a number of wooden panels.

The most observant of fans noticed that from the right angle, these panels formed the shape IX, roman numerals for the number nine.

Could a reveal take place during this summer’s Summer Games Fest or Gamescom’s Opening Night Live?

Will Capcom simply drop a trailer, or perhaps let it air during a State of Play? It’s all very possible, and fans are hyped that a new era is almost upon us.

“Definitely about that time. Capcom now is your chance to bring back Jill or Claire or any other forgotten main characters,” wrote Reddit user Vorstar92.

“I hope it will be classic third person view,” added Kiboune.

Of course, as soon as the game is revealed, we’ll bring you the latest news.
