According to a reputable Resident Evil insider, Resident Evil 9 was originally going to be an open-world multiplayer game starring Leon S. Kennedy and Jill Valentine, but those plans were ultimately scrapped. Resident Evil 9 has yet to be officially announced by Capcom, but since Resident Evil is one of the company's most popular franchises, it's only a matter of time before it's revealed.
While Resident Evil fans wait for official word from Capcom on Resident Evil 9, all kinds of rumors have been swirling about the game and what it will entail. Some of the more recent rumors have claimed that Resident Evil 9's protagonists will be Leon and Jill, but those rumors have been pushed back against.

There have been plenty of rumors about which characters will be in RE9, and iconic franchise names would be exciting to see again.
