Resident Evil 9 officially teased in new video
Resident Evil 9 fans believe Capcom has just teased its next entry in the iconic survival horror series.
In July 2024, Capcom announced that Resident Evil 9 is currently in development, though its full title hasn't been officially announced. I assume it will likely be called Resident Evil with a subheading of sorts.
Check out the Resident Evil 4 trailer below!
At this time, we've had to rely on rumours for information regarding Resident Evil 9, with many claiming that it will star both Leon S. Kennedy and Jill Valentine as playable characters. If this happens, it would be a first for the video game series.
As we've seen with Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Resident Evil Village, Capcom likes to hide a Roman numeral somewhere in the title during marketing, and Resident Evil 9 will likely be no exception.
With that in mind, during a short video from Capcom thanking fans for making the 2023 Resident Evil 4 remake the fastest game in the series to achieve 10 million sales, fans believe that Resident Evil 9 may have been teased.
During the opening moments of Resident Evil 4, when Leon first wanders into the village, players encounter a bonfire with a wooden cross burning. This is where fans believe Resident Evil 9 has been teased.
As brought to our attention by Dusk Golem (thanks, Reddit), when rotated 90 degrees clockwise, the Roman numeral for nine has seemingly been edited into the wooden cross in the bonfire. The number nine does not feature in the game at this location.

— Capcom Dev 1 (@dev1_official) April 25, 2025So Capcom has gone out of its way to make this edit, and for that reason, it's easy to understand why so many fans believe this is a cheeky tease for Resident Evil 9.
We've not had an official update on the development progress of Resident Evil 9 since its vague announcement last year, so hopefully, Capcom is gearing up to reveal more in the coming months.
As always, we'll keep you posted when Capcom drops the official details on the next entry in its Resident Evil series.

Rick Astley's No. 1 hit has a billion Spotify streams, 38 years after its release: It's 'something I never dreamed of'
Rick Astley was just 21 years old when he recorded his 1987 hit, 'Never Gonna Give You Up.' It spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and charted for 24 more weeks. At age 27, he retired from recording music, with no clue that his song would see a resurgence among millennials and Gen Zers decades later. Astley's song joined Spotify's "Billions Club" on Monday, surpassing 1 billion streams on the platform. "I never could have imagined back in 1987 that 'Never Gonna Give You Up' would still be going strong decades later," Astley, 59, said in a statement, according to USA Today. "Thanks to streaming platforms, a whole new generation has been able to discover music like mine. Reaching 1 billion streams is something I never dreamed of and to everyone who's ever listened, thank you." Astley's retirement wasn't permanent: He released a studio album in 2005, and has released three more since 2016. But his song's modern popularity is more due to "Rickrolling," an online bait-and-switch prank where someone is tricked into watching the song's music video through a misleading first learned about Rickrolling in 2007, when his friend emailed him a YouTube link that brought him to his own music video, he told Vice in 2022. Today, the music video has at least 1.6 billion views on YouTube, and "Never Gonna Give You Up" has stayed relevant enough to be certified five-times platinum in the U.S. It's unclear exactly how much money Astley has received from the online phenomenon, with streaming services, distributors and music labels rarely publishing exact payout rates. The singer himself may not care: "I've never even tried to find out what was actually made from the YouTube hits. I've never really thought about it," he wrote on Reddit in October 2016. Astley was already financially comfortable when he retired at 27, he told ITV's "This Morning" on October 28. More recently, he was paid "a chunk of money" to sing "Never Gonna Give You Up" at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2008, and in a 2015 Virgin Mobile commercial, he wrote on Reddit. "I have been paid well twice, for rickrolling," Astley wrote. Astley's early retirement was prompted by burnout, he told ITV. He felt so consumed by the business of music that he rarely enjoyed the feeling of being a musician, he said. "I was going to America to do a big TV show in New York, and I developed a fear of flying," said Astley. "I didn't want to get on planes anymore, which is hard to be an international pop star if you won't fly." His music-making hiatus gave him a relative degree of off-stage anonymity that he's since embraced, he told Vice. "I've done way more gigging in the last 15 years than I did when I was famous. I'm a lot happier than when I was having my hits," said Astley. "It's kind of perfect because, even though I've just sung for 10,000 people, and they've sung most of the words back to me … when I go to the bar, one person might recognize me. Sometimes none — it's amazing."

When Venus enters Taurus this week, these 3 signs should trust in lust
On Friday, June 6, Venus, our planet of attraction, attachment and aesthetics, is trading the flaming codpiece of Aries for the brocade bathrobe of Taurus. Venus will loll around in these pleasured pastures until July 4. Named for the Roman goddess of love and fertility, Venus is the fine, divine feminine counterpart to aggro jockstrap warlord Mars. According to myth, Venus was born from sea foam and the severed member of Uranus, emerging fully formed and boobs busting out in a scallop shell — with pleasure as her governing principle. Venus in Taurus 2025 6 On June 6, Venus, our planet of attraction, attachment and aesthetics, is trading the flaming codpiece of Aries for the brocade bathrobe of Taurus. – As the planetary ruler of Taurus, this transit is Venus coming home and basking in the typical and the tactile. Here in the herd, the planet of love is rapturously incarnated. Earth is luscious, movement is languid, the body is an altar — and in lust we trust. Those born with Venus in Taurus are natural-born hedonists. The inclination here is to revel in the pleasures of the animal body; consuming and consumating are the orders of the day. If Venus in Taurus were a fabric, it would be velvet. Meaning of Venus in Taurus 6 Named for the goddess of love, Venus colors attraction and attachment, assets and aesthetics. wowinside – If Venus in Taurus were a sexual position, it would be 69, because everyone gets to feel good while lying down. Venus in Taurus wants the delicious and the dependable, something or someone steadfast, cash, and/or a fairy tale ending. In turn, this transit makes us hungry for the stable and the sensual: a devoted lover, a piece of fruit ripe and warm from the vine, a fistful of wildflowers, a lavish meal, an unhurried afternoon. For the video embodiment of Venus in Taurus, see the recording of 'Rich Girl,' performed by Hall and Oates circa 1977. In terms of aesthetics, Venus in Taurus is tactile luxury, statuary-inspired silhouettes, and a general invocation of a Renaissance painting. For evidence, see Venus in Taurus natives Lana Del Rey, Princess Diana, Deborah Harry and Megan Fox. The great lesson of Taurus is that pleasure cannot exist without presence. In the ugly, capitalist, 'more' motivated world in which we live and toil, pleasure is often cheapened to a quick thrill and disappearing dopamine; in other words, fast food and a swipe right. In velvet revolt, Venus in Taurus refuses to rush what feels good, as it's not waiting for what's next or distracted by what's been — it's hungry for right now and exactly what it already has. 6 Venus in Taurus calls to mind the image of the horned Egyptian goddess Hathor, the patron saint of fertility, joy, dancing, drunkenness and, above all, gratitude for what gratifies. Kristina – The underbelly of the Venusian bull is indulgence that begets inertia and desire that becomes polluted by possessiveness. We cross this threshold when we move from wanting to hold to needing to own. Venus in Taurus calls to mind the image of the horned Egyptian goddess Hathor, patron saint of fertility, joy, dancing, drunkenness, and above all, gratitude for what gratifies. With this in mind, we are all called to not only take what we need but to honor the source of its delivery, be it the body of another or the earth itself. While we'll all be under the influence of this decadent transit, three signs will feel the effects most acutely. Read for your sun and rising sign. 6 Knstart Studio – Venus has come home to your first of the self, Taurus. A wise friend shared with me her philosophy that, as humans, we are meant to consciously create, not unconsciously consume, and when we lean into the latter, we are not only starved of the meat of what matters, but destined for depression. As an embodied earth sign, a child of Venus, and ruler of the second house of values and valuables, this transit is here to remind you that the process of making is endlessly more nourishing than the state of having. 6 Knstart Studio – You love hard and hold tight, Scorpio, preferring suffering to severance. Yet, Venus in Taurus asks you to imagine that relationships can and should be a joyful pursuit, that devotion is not measured in sacrifices made but pleasure exchanged. In this sense, every disaster that has befallen you, every fissure in your delicate heart, has brought you to the brink of right now and the knowledge that love is not a thing to hold or be held down by, but a constant resource for renewal. 6 Knstart Studio – Ahoy, Sagittarius! In his poem 'The Body,' Charles Simic writes of the body as if it were a shore to be explored: This last continent Still to be discovered. My hand is dreaming, is building Its ship. For crew it takes A pack of bones, for food A beer-bottle full of blood. It knows the breath that blows north. With the breath from the west It will sail east each night. The scent of your body as it sleeps Are the land-birds sighted at sea. My touch is on the highest mast. It cries at four in the morning For a lantern to be lit On the rim of the world. As Venus in Taurus turns the lovelight on your sixth house of ritual, self-care and the body, I implore you to think of the latter, and the other, as a continent unto itself and devote yourself with a poet's ardor to your own edges.
