Resident Evil 9 could be coming soon after sneaky tease in RE4 video

It appears that Capcom might be hinting at a fresh Resident Evil game, as some observant fans have discovered an intriguing Easter egg.

The Resident Evil series, undeniably one of gaming’s most esteemed franchises, continues to attract countless gamers to its thrilling new journeys and remakes alike. Notably, Resident Evil 4 recently achieved a significant milestone: over 10 million players have been terrified while embarking on their mission to save the U.S. president’s daughter.

In appreciation to their supporters, Capcom has unveiled a two-minute clip on topic X. After the release of this “unique video,” astute fans suspect that this is far more than just a token of gratitude; they argue instead that it serves as a hint for Resident Evil 9.

Resident Evil 9 could be revealed soon according to fans

In the aforementioned video, we observe the main character, Leon Kennedy, dodging the undead wearing party hats who infest the streets of Spain.

Towards the closing moments of the video, the camera zeroed in on an intricate signboard that said ‘Thank you’ in multiple languages, seemingly expressing gratitude towards the 10 million players for their backing.

Dear valued team members,

We have put together a heartfelt tribute in the form of a video. We kindly invite you to watch it with the sound on for an enhanced experience.

Best regards,
The RE4 Development Team

On the outside, it appeared as a heartfelt thank-you for an outstanding accomplishment; however, the influx of comments suggested that this gesture might have been a covert hint towards Resident Evil 9.

Rotating the signpost 90 degrees will change its display to “IX,” a Roman numeral equivalent to 9. This could be a subtle hint for the imminent unveiling of a fresh Resident Evil experience.

As I paused, my heart pounding with anticipation, I couldn’t help but exclaim, “Hold on a moment! Isn’t this the sign for Resident Evil 9?” With a swift movement, one enthusiast adjusted the signpost to reveal the IX symbols. “Ah, I see what you’ve done here. IX,” another fan echoed in delight.

It’s unconfirmed if this is a clue for Resident Evil 9, but since the most recent mainline Resident Evil game, ‘Village’, came out in 2021, it feels like we’re long overdue for another chilling journey in the series.
