RE9 Leak: Zoe Baker’s Shocking Return to the Resident Evil Franchise?

by

Discussion about Resident Evil 9 has been buzzing due to Capcom’s silence regarding the upcoming installment in the popular horror series. At present, the only confirmed detail is that the director of RE7, Koshi Nakanishi, will be back. This could hint towards a possible continuation of the narrative initiated by RE7.

In the game titled “RE7“, we are introduced to the character, Ethan Winters, who embarks on a quest through Louisiana’s murky swamps to find his wife who has mysteriously gone missing. During his journey, he encounters the Baker family, who have been twisted and corrupted by a terrifying mold that is controlled by the antagonist, Eveline. Remarkably, one member of the family, Zoe Baker, managed to defy Eveline’s influence. In “RE7“, Zoe proved instrumental in helping Ethan, and her return in “RE9” could potentially tie up loose ends in this chapter of the franchise.

Resident Evil 9 Could Be Setting Up a Zoe Baker Return

Zoe After the Events of RE7

Due to Ethan having just one cure for the infection, he ultimately chose to administer it to his wife Mia, leaving Zoe in Louisiana behind. However, true to his word, Ethan arranged assistance for Zoe, setting up the events leading to the RE7 DLC, “End of Zoe”. In this narrative, Joe, Zoe’s uncle, embarks on a quest to locate her, as Eveline had petrified her. Eventually, Chris Redfield and Blue Umbrella come to their rescue, ensuring a much more joyful conclusion for both Joe and Zoe compared to the rest of the Baker family.

There’s been plenty of buzz and speculation about the upcoming game RE9. Some of the more significant rumors suggest that characters like Leon and Jill might make a comeback, and there could be an island backdrop where a cult devoted to moon worship resides. Although these theories are intriguing, they should be treated with caution.

Where is Zoe Baker Now?

  • Zoe became a reporter in New Orleans.
  • Since the End of Zoe, she has been investigating The Connections and is aware of Ethan and his family’s move to Eastern Europe.

It appears that Zoe’s curiosity about The Connections’ illicit activities might lead us to uncover more about this enigmatic group in Resident Evil 9 (RE9). Since we know that Ethan’s wife, Mia, was previously associated with The Connections before the events of RE7, it seems likely that the franchise is hinting at a future confrontation where Zoe pursues Mia to gather information on the organization’s criminal activities.

Regarding the storyline of RE9, it’s uncertain what surprises lie ahead for fans, but The Connections still leaves some unanswered questions that need resolution. It seems evident that The Connections could pose a significant danger due to their involvement in creating biological weapons, and perhaps RE9 will offer an opportunity to delve deeper into the group’s background.

It’s unclear if Mia Winters still has ties to The Connections.

The Connections remains a loose thread that is deserving of a tie-up.

2025 Hopefully Brings Forth an Official RE9 Announcement

It appears that it’s not very likely a new “Resident Evil” game will come out this year, but 2026 looks like an ideal release date considering it marks the 30th anniversary of the franchise. If there was ever an optimal time to debut “RE9”, it would be in 2026. However, we can’t know for certain until Capcom makes an announcement. An update on the progress of “RE9” would surely excite many eager fans.

With time passing, unverified stories and conjecture may persist. Any potential leaks that surface should be approached with skepticism. Upon the formal unveiling of RE9, it will be intriguing to observe if there are any hints suggesting a reappearance of Zoe Baker or The Connections within the series.
