First Clue for Resident Evil 9 Arrived
Resident Evil, one of the most established series in the horror genre, continues to attract millions of people to their screens with its new games and successful remakes. Finally, after Resident Evil 4 Remake reached 10 million players, Capcom shared a short thank-you video on social media. However, careful fans think that a detail in this video indicates more than a simple thank-you: a silent introduction to Resident Evil 9.
Does the Sign Point to Resident Evil 9?
In the 2-minute video published by Capcom via its official X (formerly Twitter) account, Resident Evil 4’s lead character Leon Kennedy appears in a short scene in the familiar zombie atmosphere. A direction sign at the end of the video that says “Thank you for playing” in various languages has fueled theories. Some careful fans suggest that when the sign is rotated 90 degrees, the sign on it can be read as “IX”, or the Roman numeral 9.
Among the comments, expressions such as “This is officially the announcement of Resident Evil 9!” and “We saw the secret message, Capcom did not surprise us again” were frequently included. It seems that Capcom may be aiming to shape expectations for the new game with a small visual detail, staying true to its classic marketing strategies. Especially the fact that the last main game of the series, Resident Evil Village, was released in 2021 makes players eagerly await a sequel.
The remake of Resident Evil 4 was a big gain for Capcom, both in terms of sales success and player comments. Although the meaning of the sign in the video prepared to celebrate this success has not yet been officially confirmed, it is known that Capcom likes to work with such mysterious clues. Therefore, this detail may be a harbinger of an upcoming announcement.
Sources close to the series and content producers have also started to publish analyses supporting this theory. Although no official statement has been made yet, it is said that Resident Evil 9 is in development and the promotion process may begin very soon. If these claims are true, the wait for a new horror adventure may not be too long. An announcement from Capcom in the coming months could create great excitement for fans of the series.
