Resident Evil Requiem (RE9)

Is HUNK in RE9?

Add to Watchlist

Is Hunk in RE9

Leon will fight a boss in Resident Evil Requiem (RE9) that bears a striking resemblance to HUNK. Read on to find out if HUNK appears in RE9 as the Commander boss in the ARK facility.

Spoiler Warning This article contains info on one of late game bosses of Resident Evil Requiem. It will contain main story spoilers beyond this point!

Is HUNK in RE9?

Not Confirmed, But Bears a Striking Resemblance to the Commander

While playing as Leon and exploring the ARK facility for the first time, you'll be intercepted by a man wearing a red-lensed gas mask. In-game text at the beginning of the boss fight will refer to him as the Commander.

Veterans of the series should be able to observe similarities between this masked "Commander" and the RE series's recurring character, HUNK. However, do note that the game does not explicitly say that the Commander is HUNK.

Dropped Hatchet Seems to Describe HUNK's Grim Reaper Moniker

Mortal Edge A formidable instrument of death. It has taken countless lives and is steeped in a long, bloody history.

At the end of the Commander's boss fight, you'll get the his hatchet called Mortal Edge. Its in-game description (above), seems like a nod to HUNK being referred to as the Grim Reaper. However, it can also just be a fluff description of a boss's dropped hatchet.

Commander and HUNK Share the Same Voice Actor

While the voice actor for the more recent HUNK appearance in RE2 Remake remains uncredited, previous HUNK appearances have had the same English VA in Keith Silverstein. In RE Requiem's credits, Keith Silverstein is shown to voice the Commander, which may suggest a link between the character and HUNK.
