Capcom Hints at Resident Evil 9 in Fun Video Marking 10M RE4 Players

May 20,25(1 months ago)

Capcom has cleverly hidden a tease for Resident Evil 9 in their latest celebratory video.

To mark reaching an impressive milestone of 10 million players, the Resident Evil 4 development team shared a video on social media on April 25. The video features Ada Wong engaging in a hushed conversation with a notorious villain, then transitions to Leon surrounded by infected enemies wearing party hats, casually approaching a church.

The scene shifts to a rock tune, with Dr. Salvador humorously playing his chainsaw as if it were a guitar. The camera then pulls back to reveal Leon fist-pumping in front of a rustic "Thank you for playing" sign.

You can watch the full video here:

エージェントの皆様へ
感謝の気持ちを込めて記念映像をご用意いたしました。ぜひ音付きでお楽しみください。

Attention all agents,
We've prepared a special video to express our gratitude to all of you, which we hope you'll enjoy (with sound ON)!

However, if you rotate the sign on its side, the boards form the Roman numeral "IX," which translates to the number 9.

While this might seem like a mere coincidence, horror game insider Dusk Golem noted that a lower plank, crucial to forming the "IX," was absent in earlier segments of the video, indicating it was deliberately added. This has led to speculation about its significance.

"I know what you did here," commented one astonished viewer, accompanied by a wide-eyed emoji.

PlayCapcom has officially announced that Resident Evil 7 director Koshi Nakanishi will helm the next mainline Resident Evil game.

"It was really challenging to determine the next step after Resident Evil 7," Nakanishi stated. "But I've found it, and it feels significant. I can't reveal specifics yet, but I hope you're eager for when I can." Rumors suggest, though not confirmed, that the game will be set on an island reminiscent of Singapore.
