On this morning's Capcom Spotlight live broadcast, the official introduced the design concept, role and evolution of "Resident Evil 9" through a new video.According to the director, the design concept of "Resident Evil 9" is addictive fear, and in the selection of the protagonist, Lyon was originally considered, but because Lyon's previous heroic character does not match the scary and horror style of this work, he chose a brand new type of protagonist - a fragile heroine Grace.
As for evolution, Capcom said that the evolution of Resident Evil 9 is reflected in the following aspects:
The performance is more realistic and natural
For example, when the protagonist Grace is hung up, her face will be congested and red. In terms of the character's hair performance, in order to create a real effect, the official specially invited experts to make wigs, perform simulation calculations, and then implement them into CG.
Freely switch between first-person and third-person perspectives
First-person play, more immersive, with a burst of tension and fear
The third-person perspective, that is, the shoulder-length perspective, can clearly observe the various movements of the character during play.If you like action games, it is recommended that you play using a third-person perspective.
Stage setting—Raccoon City
Resident Evil 9 is set in Raccoon City 30 years after the "sterilization warfare".
This work will fully present the growth process of various characters in the Raccoon City incident that year.
Many characters in "Resident Evil 9" are closely related to the Raccoon City incident, or are involved, and some people's life trajectories have been greatly changed and even died.There will be many such characters in this game.Just as the meaning of "Requiem", this work is a "Requiem" dedicated to these characters.
The Resident Evil series will celebrate its 30th anniversary in March 2026. The official hopes that Resident Evil 9 will become a game that will live up to its 30th anniversary commemorative work.
Finally, more suspense was laid out: it will be published one after another
