"Resident Evil 9" was once planned as a huge open-world multiplayer game with Lyon and Jill as the starring roles, but according to the latest internal news, Capcom has restarted "Resident Evil 9" in 2021.According to the well-known "Resident Evil" whistleblower Dusk Golem, the development process of "Resident Evil 9" is actually far more tortuous than we imagined.

The original direction of "Resident Evil 9" is about restarting in 2021

Dusk Golem revealed on social media that the development of "Resident Evil 9" actually started early in 2017, shortly after the release of "Resident Evil 7".Since the initial sales of "Resident Evil 7" did not meet Capcom's expectations, the company decided to change the direction of the next regular work.

The original Resident Evil 9 was conceived as a massive open world multiplayer collaboration game with the protagonists of Lyon and Jill, and the story is set on a fictional island inspired by Singapore.

This game was originally intended to be the "resential" of Resident Evil 7 and take a completely different route.The project has been in development for several years, but with the launch of Resident Evil 8: Village, everything has changed significantly.

According to Dusk Golem, Capcom decided to carry out a "major restart" of the project in 2021.Although Lyon is still one of the protagonists of the new Resident Evil 9, many elements from the original version, such as multiplayer mode and Jill's protagonist status, have been removed or completely changed.

Dusk Golem said on social media:

"The development of Resident Evil 9 was initially in 2017. The sales volume in Resident Evil 7 was not as expected in the early stages. Although the long-term sales performance of Resident Evil 7 was strong later, the decision was a bit out of emergency response. The earliest Resident Evil 9 plan was completely opposite to Resident Evil 7, a large open world multiplayer game with the protagonists of Lyon and Jill, and the stage was set on a fictional island imitating Singapore.

But this is already the old version of "Resident Evil 9". The project underwent a major restart around 2021, during the release of "Resident Evil 8". Although some things have been preserved, such as Lyon is still the protagonist.”

In addition, Dusk Golem also revealed that another "Resident Evil: Apocalypse 3" project with Rebecca Chambers as the main character has also been cancelled in 2022.
