According to the latest internal news, Resident Evil 9 was originally planned to be a large open world multiplayer game with Lyon and Jill as the main characters until Capcom overthrows and starts again in 2021.
Although "Resident Evil 9" has not yet been officially announced, it has become the most discussed unsold work in the history of the series.As Capcom remained silent, fans frantically parsed every clue circulating online—from the so-called plot to the false test version details, and even speculation about which classic characters might return.
These rumors continue to ignite players' enthusiasm, especially after "Resident Evil 8", everyone is eager to know the future direction of the series.There have been news about the new scenes, the return of classic characters such as Jill and Lyon, as well as rumors of "major innovation" that may subvert players' expectations.
Now, new information from the well-known Resident Evil whistleblower Dusk Golem reveals the secret behind the scenes - it turns out that the current version in development is completely different from the original idea.
This senior whistleblower posted on a social platform that the actual development of "Resident Evil 9" began after the release of "Biochemical 7" in early 2017.Since the initial sales of Biochemical 7 did not meet Capcom's expectations, the team decided to open up new directions for the sequel.The original Resident Evil 9 was designed as a large open world multiplayer game. In the early concept, the story was unfolded with the two protagonists of Lyon and Jill, and the stage was set on a fictional island modeled on Singapore.
This completely deviates from the traditional model of the series, with the intention of creating a work that is completely opposite to "Biochemistry 7".After several years of progress in the project, with the release of "Resident Evil 8", Capcom decided to "completely restart" the game in 2021.Although Lyon still plays an important role in the new version, the original settings such as multiplayer mode and Jill's core role have been deleted or refactored.
The whistleblower also revealed that another "Revelation 3" starring Rebecca Chambers has been cancelled in 2022.
