Capcom’s next major Resident Evil title, rumored to be titled Resident Evil 9: Requiem, is shaping up to be its most visually advanced game yet.
A newly leaked confidential document suggests the studio is pushing photorealism to the next level, promising lifelike characters, hauntingly detailed environments, and terrifyingly realistic creatures.
Resident Evil 9 Big Visual Leap
The leaked internal material highlights Capcom’s focus on “vividly lifelike human characters” using advanced modeling technology. According to the translation, every scar, wrinkle, and facial detail is crafted with precision to make the horror experience more immersive and unsettling.
The document also showcases renders of zombified police officers and grotesque mutant dogs, signaling that the game will stay true to its survival horror roots while dialing up the realism.
The Surprise That Has Fans Talking
Buried in the same leak is what might be the most exciting reveal for long time fans: a new, battle worn version of Leon Kennedy.
The character model reportedly shows him older than in Resident Evil 6 and sporting an eyepatch, a look some fans are already comparing to Big Boss from Metal Gear Solid. This subtle but major reveal has sent the community buzzing, with many speculating about how Leon’s story will tie into the darker tone implied by the leak.
Resident Evil 9: What We Know and Don’t
Capcom hasn’t confirmed the authenticity of the document, and the translation is described as “rough.” Some fans warn that until official confirmation comes, the details should be taken with caution.
Still, if accurate, Leon’s inclusion could make Resident Evil 9 one of the most anticipated entries in the franchise, both for its technical leap and its nostalgic nods to a fan favorite hero.
