Leon Is The Main Character In Resident Evil 9
An exciting rumor has emerged for the highly anticipated new game in the Resident Evil series, Resident Evil 9. Famous Resident Evil leaker Aesthetic Gamer (aka Dusk Golem) has claimed that Leon S. Kennedy will be the main character in the new game of the series. Leon’s return as the lead character after last appearing as the main character in Resident Evil 6 has created great anticipation among fans. Although no official confirmation has been made by Capcom, this strong claim has already caused a wide response.
Leon S. Kennedy Instead of Jill Valentine in Resident Evil 9
There were previously rumors that Jill Valentine would play a major role in Resident Evil 9. However, Aesthetic Gamer has announced that these claims are no longer valid. It is stated that a concept with Jill in the lead role was considered in the first drafts, but these plans have changed. The new claims suggest that Leon S. Kennedy will definitely be the main character of the game. Leon had previously attracted the attention of fans by appearing in the Resident Evil 4 remake in the past years.
“Leon’s casting as the lead role makes sense both from a narrative perspective and provides a nostalgic connection for fans,” Aesthetic Gamer said. Resident Evil 9 is being directed by Resident Evil 7: Biohazard director Koshi Nakanishi, raising expectations that the game will be “an intense and full experience.”
Not many details have been shared about Resident Evil 9’s story and gameplay yet. However, rumors have it that the game will take place in a hospital and that we will meet a new enemy type, the “Goatman.” Capcom has confirmed that the game is in development, but has not given a specific release date. Resident Evil 9 is expected to be released in 2025, but there is a possibility that it could be delayed to 2026.
In addition to Resident Evil 9, there are exciting plans for other games in the series. It is claimed that remakes of Resident Evil Zero and Resident Evil: Code Veronica are in development. These projects are seen as part of Capcom’s strategy to re-present classic games with modern graphics and improved gameplay mechanics.
The claim that Leon S. Kennedy will play the lead role has both delighted and intrigued Resident Evil fans. How Capcom will respond to these rumors and what Resident Evil 9 will offer is eagerly awaited.
