New Resident Evil 9 leaks

There is no doubt that Leon Kennedy stands as one of the most beloved characters in the Resident Evil franchise. Fans would love his return in the new game as the main protagonist.

According to Dusk Golem, Leon is set to lead Resident Evil 9, but not all rumors hold water. He clarifies that much of the previous speculation was inaccurate. Dusk is a well-known leaker for leaking horror games.

For fans who are wondering whether Jill Valentine will be involved or not, there is a piece of bad news and good news for you. The good news is that according to leaks and rumors, she might be present in the game. The bad news is that her role and involvement will be minimal.

Resident Evil 9 will explore an open-world style, with Capcom aiming for a 90/100 Metacritic score. This objective implies a considerable change in gameplay from prior installments. I think this is the reason why they are so patient and not trying to rush anything.

It can be easily said they are trying to deliver one of the best Resident Evil games ever and for that, they don’t want to rush anything. There have also been rumors and leaks regarding the game title. Right now, Capcom is trying to be more secretive as they want to be more ambitious with this game.
