Here's What We Know So Far:
Per Dusk Golem:
-Grace is Spencer's daughter. Alyssa was forced to adopt her by Spencer in exchange for an interview and important info.
-Spencer has been manipulating the events of RERequiem as a final plan after his death.
Got some updates and clarity on Grace and Spencer.
On Grace Being Spencer's "Daughter" and Spencer's Final Plan
-(Per Dusk Golem): "Spencer's protoge, so here's vaguely how this works from how I understand it. Grace is actually not related to any past character by blood, but she was as a young kid used by Spencer in experiments in ARK, which ARK is a hidden facility that was underneath the orphanage in RE:2. She was a random kid taken from the orphanage from RE:2 for the ARK underneath it, with the goal to create Elpis. Victor and the Connections all think Elpis is some great final virus, but it's actually Spencer's failsafe. Elpis is an anti-viral agent that eradicates all progenitor based viruses. Victor and the Connections think it's the ultimate virus, but it's an anti-virus Spencer made. We'll get more into it and why the children were important in the game.
Spencer did an interview after some period of time after Raccoon City, he predicted how things would go with Umbrella's downfall, with the Connections of the peers who betrayed him stealing his life long work, and that they'd want Elpis. To spread the false story of what Elpis was, and he was fond of Grace as a child. But he knew he was too evil to have this sort of attachment, and his plans wouldn't work anyway if Grace was in his custody, so he entrusted Grace to Alyssa (see more on why as a whole other tangent for that one), and he revealed everything to Alyssa when he agreed to do an interview with her. He both selfishly didn't want anyone to have what he views is his, rather it all go down with him, but also he did care for Grace, though he knew she needed better than him. Kinda' similar to Spencer dismissing his lifelong servant before he died by Wesker actually. With the optimal path being that one day things could be resolved peacefully with Grace and Alyssa, but he predicted the Connections would be after Grace as long as they knew about her, and she was the key to taking down the Connections if they ever tried, thinking she housed a great virus, but it's actually a great cure.
Victor is working for The Connections btw I should mention.
Emily btw is a clone of Grace made by the Connections who tried to "make their own Grace", but failed because they "didn't have Elpis," is what they believe."
-Victor's boss is actually Zeno - A CLONE OF ALBERT WESKER. He has his own personality and in a funny twist of fate, he has his own narcissism that forces him to prove he's better than the OG Wesker.
-Victor kills Zeno some time in the game. Victor really is the true villain of RE9.
-There are multiple endings.
UPDATE: Dusk just revealed Leon dies in the bad ending and he gets Jill'd in the good. He gets cured of his infection and becomes younger. Not joking...
UPDATE 2: DEAR GOD ITS REAL. FOOTAGE JUST LEAKED OF YOUNGER LEON -
Then here's the other crazy returns...
-MR. X is back!
-HUNK returns and fights Leon in a boss battle. Leon apparently kills him.
-NEMESIS returns too! He's the final boss if you go for the good ending.
-UPDATE: So Nemesis's body isn't in the game. What happens is Victor injects himself with the Nemesis parasite that transforms himself in Nemesis's final mutation. Leon says to Victor: "A Nemesis. No wonder you´re so damn relentless."
-A GIANT SPIDER similar to Resident Evil 1 is a boss battle for Grace!
Who's Not in the Game:
-No Jill, Claire, or Ada...
Zeno's model:
Sherry's Model:
HUNK:
GIANT SPIDER:
MR. X:
NEMESIS:
Dear god Capcom went full WTF with this game lol.
The Final Cutscene was leaked::
-Doesn't seem like Leon's retiring and Sherry may get de-aged now too. Chris was helping Leon behind the scenes.
Bad Ending:
Bad Ending just got posted. It's def non-canon. Leon gives Grace a chance to escape from Zeno, gets destroyed, and then Zeno blows his head off. It's like an extended bad ending if Jill doesn't shoot Nikolai in time in RE3 Remake.
