Resident Evil, one of the legendary series of the horror game world, continues to fascinate millions of players with its new productions and successful remakes. Finally, a short thank you video released by Capcom in honor of the remake of Resident Evil 4 reaching 10 million players created a new wave of excitement with a detail that did not escape the careful eyes of fans: the possible first signal of Resident Evil 9!
Is the Rotating Sign Whispering Resident Evil 9?
In the 2-minute thank-you video shared via Capcom’s official X (formerly Twitter) account, Resident Evil 4’s iconic protagonist Leon S. Kennedy makes a brief appearance in the series’ familiar, spooky atmosphere. However, a sign at the end of the video that reads “Thank you for playing” in various languages has sown seeds of doubt in the minds of wary fans. Some sharp-eyed players claim that when the sign is rotated 90 degrees, the sign on it can be read as the Roman numeral “IX,” or 9.
This interesting discovery quickly spread on social media, sparking excited comments. Players began to frequently see phrases such as “This is officially the announcement of Resident Evil 9!” and “We saw the secret message, Capcom did not surprise us again.” It seems that Capcom may be aiming to subtly shape expectations for the new game through a small visual detail, staying true to its classic marketing strategies that it often uses to excite fans of the series. The fact that the last main game of the series, Resident Evil Village, was released in 2021 also makes players eagerly await the next sequel.
Capcom's Mysterious Clues and Long-Awaited Announcement
The remake of Resident Evil 4 was a major triumph for Capcom, both in terms of commercial success and critical acclaim. Although the true meaning of the sign in the video prepared to celebrate this success has not yet been officially confirmed, it is well known to fans of the series that Capcom loves to work with such mysterious and subtle details. Therefore, this striking detail could be a sign of a major announcement in the near future.
Sources close to the series and well-known content producers have also begun to publish analyses supporting this interesting theory. Although there has been no official statement from Capcom so far, whispers are increasing that Resident Evil 9 is in development and that the promotional process may begin very soon. If these claims are true, the wait for a brand new Resident Evil adventure full of fear may not be long. A possible announcement by Capcom in the coming months will be an indescribable source of excitement for millions of fans of the series worldwide.
