Resident Evil: Requiem platforms
Resident Evil: Requiem will launch for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. This means that the next mainline entry is making a proper leap over to current-gen systems, leaving last-gen consoles behind.
Resident Evil: Requiem story
Requiem stars a new character in the form of FBI technical analyst Grace Ashcroft--the daughter of Resident Evil Outbreak's Alyssa Ashcroft--who is tasked with exploring a series of recent murders that were committed at the Wrenwood Hotel. Ashcroft has a personal connection to this location as this is the site where her mother was murdered, and Capcom says that players can expect "a new era of survival-horror," amplified by technological advancements in the RE Engine that powers the game.
The interesting thing about Resident Evil Outbreak was that the playable characters had been infected with one of Umbrella Corporation's viruses, making the experience that much more challenging in this 2003 multiplayer co-op game. Alyssa appears to have survived the events of the game--some of her journalistic work was referenced in later Resident Evil games--and it'll be interesting to see if Requiem links back to Outbreak.
For the first time in a long time, Resident Evil is also returning to Raccoon City. The iconic city was leveled with an experimental thermobaric missile strike toward the end of Resident Evil 2, and since then, it has been a desolate crater that has remained unexplored in other Resident Evil sequels. The reveal trailer for the game teased a few familiar locations, like the police department that is barely standing amidst the charred ruins of the devastated city.
Resident Evil: Requiem gameplay
Your average Resident Evil protagonist knows how to handle a firearm, but in comparison, Grace isn't as skilled. While she's still capable of defending herself, Capcom's description for the game suggests that fleeing from danger is the best path forward. The game combines "deeply terrifying aspects of psychological horror with pulse-pounding action that franchise fans know and love," Capcom says.
One other interesting tidbit is that you can choose to play Requiem from multiple angles. The game will feature both first-person and third-person camera angles, allowing you to experience the story from either a traditional Resident Evil perspective or a first-person viewpoint that has defined modern entries in the series.
