Lastly, based on the leaker, the sport was initially designed to be co-op, however which will have modified. It’s value noting none of those claims have been confirmed by Capcom.
The complete particulars of stream translated from Twitter person @agonycrossbow and gathered by Reddit person DampRevil:
The translated info from the stream is as follows:
Says RE9 stars Leon AND Jill, not simply Leon.
Jill is outwardly to Leon what Sheva is to Chris in RE5.
Recreation just isn’t totally open world, simply has open world components like RE Village and RE4 Remake.
Recreation was initially designed as a co-op sport, however after the constructive reception to RE7 and RE Village being single participant, Capcom could have minimize the co-op side.
When contemplating reducing the co-op, Capcom additionally thought-about reducing Jill as nicely to simply give attention to Leon and the one participant. Nonetheless, after lowering Jill’s position a lot in RE5, they felt it was unfair to chop her once more. Says he is aware of 100% that Jill continues to be within the sport as a primary character, he’s simply unsure the place she stands from a gameplay perspective.
Talked about that whether it is nonetheless co-op, he’s unsure how Capcom is designing it. Says it could possibly be like RE5 and RE6, or like RE0 (the place you could possibly freely swap between them), or could find yourself being two separate campaigns for every character.
Doesn’t know who the sport’s supporting characters are, however suspects it’s probably Barry for Jill and Ada for Leon.
Says RE9 is not going to give attention to Blue Umbrella, and sure not on the BSAA cliffhanger from the tip of Village both. If the BSAA cliffhanger is addressed, it would solely be a small a part of the sport.
Recreation will likely be third particular person, however he suspects that first particular person will likely be added later to the sport. (Much like The Evil Inside 2).
Thinks the enemies are zombies, however they’ll be quicker and sure extra aggressive for the reason that sluggish, lumbering zombies wouldn’t be a menace to Jill or Leon anymore.
He additionally offered another fascinating info concerning the franchise as an entire.
He mentioned that the one characters who’re secure from loss of life are Chris, Jill, Leon, and Claire. Anyone else (together with Barry, Rebecca, and even Ada) may all be killed off if the story requires it. He suspects that could possibly be a part of the rationale why Barry would possibly seem in RE9. Because of his age, his window of getting used is restricted, so it’s doable Capcom could need to give him one closing look earlier than closing off his story.
RE5 Remake was in pre-production, however was in the end shelved (not cancelled) till Capcom can work out find out how to deal with the racism controversy.
Says that Capcom put out a name for a RE6 Remake, however no one had any curiosity within the challenge, so it was cancelled and can doubtless by no means occur.
Additionally talked about that every staff/director isn’t certain by the story or cliffhangers that got here within the earlier sport. They’ll inform no matter story they need to and use the characters they need. For this reason there are such a lot of unresolved cliffhangers and characters which might be launched and by no means seen once more.
Additionally mentioned that seeing these newly launched characters (like Sheva or Helena, he talked about) are unlikely to ever make an look once more.
He additionally says that he tries to be clear with what he is aware of and doesn’t know in regard to leaking.
