Unveiling Resident Evil Requiem: The Story and Gameplay
The narrative of Resident Evil Requiem begins with a chilling discovery: a body found in an abandoned hotel, seemingly a victim of an unknown disease. Players step into the shoes of Grace Ashcroft, an FBI intelligence analyst, who is dispatched to investigate this mysterious death. The investigation takes a personal turn as it leads her back to the very hotel where her mother tragically passed away eight years prior.
As Grace confronts her own traumatic past, she unearths a sinister link between the recent death and the infamous events of Raccoon City, a place her mother, a former reporter, barely escaped. Gameplay offers dynamic flexibility, allowing players to switch between intense first-person and strategic third-person perspectives at will. Early previews suggest a relentless pursuit by another malevolent character, adding layers of suspense. Expect more thrilling details from Capcom as we approach the game’s highly anticipated release in February 2026.
