Resident Evil 5 ad confirms death of Jill Valentine

At the last Tokyo Game Show, Capcom showed footage of Resident Evil 5, which ended with a shot of Jill Valentine’s tombstone. If you remained hopeful that Capcom was just pulling your leg and didn’t kill off Jill, I have some bad news for you.

At the last Tokyo Game Show, Capcom showed footage of Resident Evil 5 (PS3, Xbox 360), which ended with a shot of Jill Valentine’s tombstone. If you remained hopeful that Capcom was just pulling your leg and didn’t kill off Jill, I have some bad news for you.

The latest issue of Famitsu features a 2-page ad of Resident Evil 5, showing Chris Redfield paying his respects over Jill’s tombstone. Capcom offers no hints on how she died, but seeing how they deemed it important enough to be the centerpiece of a 2-page ad, I’m guessing her death will play a part in the story of RE5.

Few deaths in the video game world actually matter in the world of video games, so it’d just be a shame if Capcom didn’t elaborate on it. Then again, is she really dead? Ohhhh. I’ll leave that up to the conspiracy theorists. Here’s the vid from TGS showing Jill’s tombstone for reference, since it wasn’t “officially” released:

• Resident Evil 5 TV commercial: ‘Time to die, Chris’
• Two new Resident Evil 5 vids: sticky boss, viral campaign episode one
