Capcom showed a little more Resident Evil Requiem Thursday. The Resident Evil Showcase showcased the latest game in the series and showcased the return of the enemies that made the series a classic: zombies.
Yes, zombies are back in Resident Evil Requiem. While the first three Resident Evil games focused on a zombie outbreak, games since then have revolved around bioweapons, which turn humans into hideous monsters that act like zombies. This time, the zombies are back, and they are “smarter” than before. Kind of.
The zombies that appear in the show don’t wander around aimlessly like in previous Resident Evil games. These zombies cling to their past lives and can be seen doing the same activities they did when they were alive, such as a zombie guard who is still cleaning up. It will be up to players to find openings with these behaviors to sneak into.

When will Resident Evil Mass take place?
Resident Evil Requiem takes place 30 years after the events of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, which occurred when Raccoon City was destroyed.
How will Resident Evil Requiem be played?
Grace and Leon play very differently, making it almost like two different games. When playing as Grace, although she is physically weaker than Leon, she has access to a powerful gun called Requiem and can create tools from the blood of the infected. However, her ammo is limited, which will add to the survival horror aspect while playing as Grace. As for Leon, he will play the same way he did Resident Evil 4. He will still punch and kick groups of zombies and can also use a chainsaw to cut them down.
Whether you can play as Grace or Leon depends on where you are in the game’s story, as they cannot be chosen. Players will have to play as both characters to complete the game. There is something new in the game, whether to make it easier for players or more difficult, is the introduction of difficulty levels. There is an easy mode called Casual that allows players to focus on the story, and Standard mode is the average difficulty of the Resident Evil game. New to any Resident Evil game is Standard (Classic) difficulty, which includes ink ribbons to save the game. The ink ribbons were a callback to the early Resident Evil games, where a person was required to save their progress on a typewriter.

Who is Grace Ashcroft?
Grace Ashcroft is an FBI analyst with a connection to Raccoon City. Her mother, Alyssa, was a survivor of the destruction of Raccoon City and was a playable character in the online game Resident Evil Outbreak, which was released on PS2 in 2003. The elder Ashcroft was a reporter telling the story of what happened to the zombie-infested city, but was killed by a masked assailant in 2018.
Her murder prompted Grace to join the FBI. In Requiem, a mysterious infection is spreading, and deaths are increasing. Grace is assigned to investigate the Renwood Hotel, the place where the last death occurred and the site of her mother’s murder. From here she will make her way to Raccoon City.
Where was Leon Kennedy?
Leon was last seen in the series with Resident Evil 6, but has been active in the Resident Evil animated films and series, including Resident Evil: Degeneration, Resident Evil: Damnation, Resident Evil: Vendetta, Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness and Resident Evil: Death Island. Leon is currently an agent for the Security Operations Division and is deployed around the world to investigate cases of bioweapons causing chaos, which often leads to a reunion with other Resident Evil survivors, such as Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, and Rebecca Chambers.
Are there other characters that will be revealed?
The GameStop listing for Resident Evil Requiem has listed the game’s expansion card and additional scenarios, according to a report from Video game records. One scenario referenced the Shadow Walker costume pack, which includes costumes for Rosemary Winters, the daughter of Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil Village hero Ethan Winters. Rosemary was the main character of Shadows of Rose, a post-release content scenario for Resident Evil Village.
Additional characters may be revealed in the coming days as Resident Evil Requiem’s release date approaches.
