LEON RETURNS? RESIDENT EVIL 9'S PROTAGONIST DRAMA HEATS UP

Dusk Golem, the insider who's been as accurate as a laser-guided rocket launcher, just confirmed that Leon S. Kennedy is trading his Spanish vacation for whatever nightmare fuel RE9 has in store.

THE EVIDENCE PILE

It's not just random Discord whispers fueling this fire. The pieces are falling into place like a perfectly solved Resident Evil puzzle:

Nick Apostolides (RE2 & 4 Remake's Leon) has mysteriously listed a new AAA project on his resume with the exact same description as his previous Leon roles. Subtle as a brick through a window, Nick.

Meanwhile, RE9's director Koshi Nakanishi is following exactly one English RE voice actor on Instagram - take a wild guess who. Spoiler: it's our boy Nick. Either that's the world's biggest coincidence, or someone at Capcom needs a course in subtle social media management.

THE JILL SITUATION

But what about Jill Valentine? According to Dusk Golem, she might have been part of early development plans, but like many characters in Resident Evil, she didn't survive the cutting room floor. It's the kind of revelation that makes you wonder what other alternate universe versions of RE9 might be floating around Capcom's hard drives.

THE BOTTOM LINE

While nothing's official until Capcom decides to grace us with an announcement, the evidence is starting to stack higher than a pile of zombie corpses. Between the leaked Discord messages, suspicious social media follows, and that conveniently vague AAA project listing, it's looking more likely that Leon's about to have another very, very bad day.
