Resident Evil: Requiem News

Resident Evil: Requiem

Resident Evil Requiem is the ninth mainline game in the survival horror series, developed by Capcom.

The game marks a “bold shift for the franchise,” according to Capcom, and stars Grace Ashcroft, the daughter of Resident Evil Outbreak’s Alyssa, an FBI analyst investigating a series of mysterious deaths in Raccoon City, nearly a decade after it was bombed in the events of Resident Evil 3.

While digging around for clues at the ruined Wrenwood Hotel, Grace encounters Dr. Victor Gideon, and she is dragged into a world of horror she’s not prepared for.

The game also sees players swapping to control series protagonist Leon S Kennedy, who is conducting his own investigations into the mysterious events. When playing as Leon, Resident Evil: Requiem is distinctly more linear, with an action focus.

    Raccoon City
  • Return once again to the city of disaster and despair. A midwestern city in the United States and the headquarters for the former global pharmaceutical company, Umbrella.
