A popular leaker tells fans to lower their expectations for a Jill Valentine comeback in Resident Evil 9, saying that she won’t have nearly as big of a part in the game as others have claimed. Fans are eagerly waiting for official updates on the next Resident Evil title, many hoping to see something that stays true to the series, with some wishing to see beloved characters more active than ever.

There are plenty of expectations from fans surrounding the idea of what the next Resident Evil game should be, and several gamers believe that it will feature the return of multiple series veterans, including Jill Valentine. Although there are fans who would appreciate seeing the first Resident Evil protagonist make a triumphant return to the franchise, others believe it’s time for the games to move on from her, or at least work on introducing a newcomer for now. It seems that those who have asked for Jill to sit this next game out may be on the same page as Capcom.

Resident Evil’s Jill Valentine is Due for a Comeback, But the Timing Needs to Be Right

Jill Valentine is one of the few Resident Evil legacy characters left to make a proper comeback, but her return shouldn’t just be for the sake of it.

A leaker known online as Dusk Golem shared that Jill Valentine will not have a significant role in Resident Evil 9, claiming that many of the rumors about the game suggesting otherwise are false. Dusk Golem notes an awareness that fans want to see Jill make a comeback but insists on being realistic about what the franchise will be offering in the coming years. While Dusk Golem says Jill “plays no major role” in the upcoming Resident Evil game, it doesn’t mean she’ll be entirely absent from this project, but little else is known.

After some back and forth with fans, Dusk Golem added to the information, suggesting that most of the various Resident Evil 9 rumors on the internet are hoaxes. Fans have compiled a list of other notable Resident Evil 9 leaks from a Reddit user known as LutusFix, questioning the credibility of their information. Dusk Golem stated that as of now, the title is set to be announced after this summer. Although this is the game’s understood schedule for now, Dusk Golem intends to find updates ahead of the 2025 Summer Game Fest event to see what else has changed.

Some fans are disappointed by this news, but others are relieved by the information, hoping for Jill to make her return under different circumstances. In addition, this calls into question what is truly known about the next Resident Evil game. Dusk Golem also shared that for now, Resident Evil Zero is planned as the next remake in the series. If this information is correct, it’s likely to be an exciting next couple of years for fans, even if it deviates from previous expectations.
