As it turns out, in the same X thread from some days ago regarding Resident Evil 9's release frame, Dusk Golem additionally posted on the game's setting. Apparently, the leaker talked about it on his Discord and was later asked about it on X. So what is the setting of Resident Evil 9 then? According to the leaker, Resident Evil 9 will be set on a Singapore-inspired Island in a fictional rural town in the Southeast Asia sea. "A fictional rural town on an island in the Southeast Asia Sea inspired by Singapore specifically", Dusk Golem posted on X. He later added, "Yeee, I see someone caught me saying that on Discord before I deleted it, it is what it is, so I don't mind clarifying a bit. To let it play out how it does."

Whether this info from Dusk Golem is correct remains to be seen, but the leaker has often been correct when it comes to leaking Capcom-related details. If Resident Evil 9 is indeed releasing within eight months from now, an official announcement from Capcom will likely follow soon.
