Capcom might have given fans a glimpse into the future with what seems to be hints of Resident Evil 9. In a recent announcement celebrating the milestone of Resident Evil 4 exceeding ten million sales, attentive fans noticed something intriguing.
The latest installment in the Resident Evil series, the reimagined Resident Evil 4, launched in March 2023. Staying true to the original 2005 narrative, this remake delivered an enhanced experience, crafted meticulously from the ground up. Today, with Capcom’s announcement, it is official: the game has reached the remarkable sales figure of ten million units.
Accompanying this announcement, Capcom released a special celebratory video for Resident Evil 4, which has become the fastest-selling game in the series. This video is where things get interesting. Observant fans speculate that Capcom cleverly embedded indications of Resident Evil 9 around the video’s peripheries, as highlighted by user NeoxVL in a Twitter post.
In particular, the focus is on the subtle appearance of ‘IX’ within the video, which seems to be a deliberate design choice. When compared to the original village square sign from previous games, this alteration stands out significantly. Here’s a glimpse of the original sign for comparison.
While the image with the ‘IX’ marking is the most apparent, it’s not the only instance suggesting the sequel. It appears that an announcement for the concluding chapter of the trilogy, which began with Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, may be imminent.
Back in January, Resident Evil 9 was hinted at, primarily through leaks by the user AestheticGamer. The upcoming game is rumored to be set on an island inspired by Singapore, located in the Southeast Asian Sea. It’s anticipated to be the longest in development and boast the largest budget of any game in the series.
Moreover, it’s expected to introduce groundbreaking features reminiscent of the original Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. Fans are eagerly awaiting to see how these innovations will revolutionize the gaming experience.
