In response via Facebook to allegations that he was in possession of the Resident Evil 4 remake artwork and had leaked it to fans, Douglas said he “was not hired for any RE games. Facts”. He repeated, “I’m not employed by Capcom for any RE game today.”

Via an Instagram story seen by Eurogamer, Douglas issued a more firm statement: “I have not announced anything, posted anything and repeatedly stated that I am not under any contract with Capcom (RE4 or otherwise). I will not comment further on any RE rumors because I have two cats there really need my attention. I’m anxiously awaiting RE4 news like the rest of you! “

Regarding the allegations of inappropriate behavior, Douglas shared a link to his blog in which he states that he is the victim of “stalking” and “defamation” by a couple of former fans, one of whom admits to having a brief “relationship” with .

Screenshots claiming to show Douglas passing the picture on to fans via Twitter DMs are being widely shared on social media. At the time of writing, Douglas’ Twitch and Twitter accounts are both offline.

So far, much of the reporting around the image treats it merely as a confirmation of a long-awaited (but so far unofficially announced) upcoming video game project.

Douglas voiced Wesker in a number of Resident Evil projects, from 2007’s Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles to 2016’s Resident Evil Zero HD remaster as well as in various spin-offs and other appearances, such as in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Umbrella Corps. His last appearance as Wesker to date was in Capcom’s 2019 crossover trading card game The Carpet.

Outside of Resident Evil, Douglas has provided voice work for dozens of other video game projects, perhaps most notably as Legion in the Mass Effect trilogy and Raven in Tekken.

Eurogamer has contacted Douglas and Resident Evil publisher Capcom for comment.
