Previously, Capcom had mentioned that they are aiming for an average rating of +90 with Resident Evil 9. It is worth noting that no main release has reached this rating yet! However, today, it was surprisingly discovered that a page for Resident Evil 9 has appeared on Metacritic.
Today, news spread that the specialized gaming review network Metacritic has opened the official game page. This indicates an imminent announcement as some believe that the network received information about the game that led them to open its official page.
The leaker Dusk Golem had hinted at an announcement in 2024, while leaker Lunatic Ignus confirmed this and pointed to December specifically.
The 4chan website – which is not usually a reliable source of information – posted some details about Resident Evil 9, including the story, characters, and the threat that will endanger the world.
- The events take place on the island of “Tierra del Fuego” in Southeast Asia.
- The environmental inspiration comes from the volcanic island in Japan, “Miyake-jima,” where all its inhabitants wear gas masks because the volcano constantly emits toxic gases.
