Capcom’s Resident Evil 4 remake recently hit a new milestone, selling over ten million copies. To celebrate, the development team shared a funny little video on Twitter where the villagers in the climactic opening don party hats to celebrate.
Doctor Salvador is busy shredding his chainsaw like an electric guitar while Leon raises his fist in respect. However, some users noticed that the sign near the tail-end looked a little odd. It features various lines of thanks, but perhaps most notable is the shape. Flip it 90 degrees to the left, and there’s a distinct resemblance to the Roman numeral for “9.”
This has been taken as a tease for the next Resident Evil, the ninth mainline title after Resident Evil Village, though in what capacity remains to be seen. Aside from Onimusha: Way of the Sword in 2026, Capcom’s release catalogue looks a little dry. An announcement for Resident Evil 9, followed by a launch late this year or next year (if you believe the rumors), could help.
As always, stay tuned for updates. Resident Evil 4 remake is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and PC. Check out our reviews for the base game and its expansion, Separate Ways.
