Lastly, in response to the leaker, the sport was initially designed to be co-op, however which will have modified. It’s price 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 seemingly 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 optimistic reception to RE7 and RE Village being single participant, Capcom might have minimize the co-op facet.
When contemplating slicing the co-op, Capcom additionally thought of slicing Jill as properly to only give attention to Leon and the one participant. Nevertheless, after decreasing 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 remains to be within the sport as a principal character, he’s simply undecided the place she stands from a gameplay perspective.
Talked about that whether it is nonetheless co-op, he’s undecided how Capcom is designing it. Says it could possibly be like RE5 and RE6, or like RE0 (the place you could possibly freely change 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 most probably Barry for Jill and Ada for Leon.
Says RE9 won’t give attention to Blue Umbrella, and sure not on the BSAA cliffhanger from the top of Village both. If the BSAA cliffhanger is addressed, it would solely be a small a part of the sport.
Recreation will probably be third particular person, however he suspects that first particular person will probably be added later to the sport. (Just 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 supplied another attention-grabbing 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 explanation why Barry may seem in RE9. Resulting from his age, his window of getting used is proscribed, so it’s potential Capcom might wish 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 venture, so it was cancelled and can probably by no means occur.
Additionally talked about that every group/director isn’t sure by the story or cliffhangers that got here within the earlier sport. They will inform no matter story they wish to and use the characters they need. This is the reason there are such a lot of unresolved cliffhangers and characters which are 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.
