On this morning's Capcom Spotlight live show, Resident Evil 9: Requiem director Koshi Nakanishi revealed several new details.
Director Koshi Nakanishi is equivalent to unilaterally refuting the rumor. Before, his uncle Dusk Golem always said that Lyon was the real protagonist of "Resident Evil 9", but in this video, the director explained why he did not choose Lyon as the protagonist of this work.

It is reported that Lyon was considered to be the protagonist of "Resident Evil 9", but because "no one wants to see Lyon frightened by every little thing", he gave up this idea.

He said: "Although we have always wanted Lyon to be the protagonist, it is difficult for this character to share a horror experience with players. If you drop a bucket or something, it will scare him. I believe players don't want to see such Lyons. The thriller performances and the character's characteristics are indeed a bit inconsistent."


In addition, if Lyon is the protagonist, it is not reasonable in terms of age.Because Resident Evil 9 happened 30 years after the nuclear explosion in Raccoon City, this means that Lyon in Resident Evil 9 will be 51 years old:


Capcom confirms that Resident Evil 9: Requiem takes place at the end of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis 3 30 years after Raccoon City was attacked by missiles:

Choose Grace as the protagonist
This is because she is both introverted and timid. She is a brand new character in the Resident Evil series. She hopes to stand in the consent perspective with the players and immerse herself in fear together. In the story of this work, Grace will overcome fear step by step and gradually grow in adversity.




Resident Evil 9 will be designed with: "Addicted Fear"
