Resident Evil 9: Return to Raccoon City with a New Surprising Protagonist Confirmed

Sure, sure, let’s dive right in—well, not dive, more like stumble through this. You know how it goes.

So, they’ve finally spilled the beans on Resident Evil Requiem. Yep, mark your calendars for February 27, 2026. Grace Ashcroft’s taking the lead this time, and honestly, the name sounds kinda fictional, right? Bet it is a nod to something… or nothing. Who knows? Anyway, Raccoon City’s making a creepy comeback, all ruined and whatnot.

Capcom took their sweet time with this one. Nothing new since 2023, right? Honestly, thought they were on vacation or something. But rumors were buzzing louder than a caffeinated bee about their plans for Resident Evil goodness. And tada! Here comes Resident Evil 9. It’s like a curtain rising—surprise! Or not so much, since people were expecting it—the internet whispers stuff, you know.

Do you remember that trailer thing? Seriously spooky! Grace Ashcroft, who apparently has some family drama—her mom was murdered in a hotel. Just casual Thursday stuff, I guess. Monsters, mysterious illnesses, the usual Resident Evil brew. Oh, and a glimpse of the iconic Raccoon City Police Department, which, let’s face it, makes the heart skip a beat.

Gamescom’s the next hot spot to catch some gameplay peeks—August 19, folks. Bet it’s gonna be more intense than finding out if there’s milk left in the fridge. Will it be open world? Who knows—these rumors swirl faster than an over-caffeinated squirrel in a maze.

Then there’s Leon S. Kennedy. Surprise! Or not? AestheticGamer hinted at it, painting Leon into the picture. It’s like those TV series where they bring back a fan-favorite character because, hey, why not?

I guess, by February, we’ll know if it’s first-person or not. Personally, I’m rooting for third-person—I need to see more than just hands floating in front of me.

Anyway, there it is. Resident Evil 9, or Requiem, or whatever it ends up being called by the fans. Who even keeps track? Time will tell if it lives up to the hype. Stay tuned—or don’t, life’s full of surprises, right?
