Who do you hope it is? Foreign media speculate that there are old characters who will return to "Resident Evil 9"
According to the latest news, "Resident Evil 9: Requiem" may reproduce several iconic content in the series. The most notable of these is the game's return to Raccoon City - a classic scene that was destroyed in the Resident Evil 3 finale. In addition, the game will introduce Grace Ashcroft as an actionable character, and she is the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft in the 2003 PS2 platform work "Resident Evil: Outbreak".
Although the trailer currently only shows some of the returning characters, this news is enough to cheer up the loyal fans of the series: "Resident Evil: Requiem" may fulfill players' expectations for over 23 years and bring the series back to the raccoon market. Foreign media Gamerant believes that in order to continue the theme of "classic reappearance", another important character may appear in the game - Lisa Trevor.
Most players first came into contact with Lisa Trevor in the 2002 first remake of "Resident Evil". As the first individual to successfully adapt to the "ancestral virus", she was kidnapped by the Umbrella Company and transformed into an experimental subject. In the game, this deformed creature with chains and wrists is known for its amazing regeneration ability and can survive even after an execution. Although she was hit by a falling chandelier in the Spencer Manor incident in the official setting, many fans believe she may still survive given that her death was not shown.
It should be noted that a mysterious creature appeared at the end of the trailer of "Resident Evil 9: Requiem", and Twitter user Jawmuncher speculated that it might be Lisa. The basis for this speculation is the sound of chains appearing in the picture, which is consistent with its iconic shackle characteristics.
If Lisa did survive the Spencer Manor incident, it would be reasonable for her to appear in the ruins of Raccoon City. As a villain who has terrified players in "Resident Evil Remake" and "Umbrella Chronicles", his long-arm attack and immortality will pose a huge threat. Players need to continue shooting to temporarily stop their actions, and this unique combat mechanism may be retained.
Developers may give Lisa new abilities or appearance upgrades on the basis of retaining their classic image, which can not only allow old players to relive the classics, but also bring a fresh experience. However, these speculations have not been officially confirmed yet, and more information may need to be released later by Capcom.
Add to say that, if you were asked to choose an old character to return, then who would you choose?
