The surprise final announcement at the Summer Game Fest event has left fans eagerly awaiting more information on this new addition to the series.
Capcom has confirmed that Resident Evil Requiem will retain the classic Resident Evil-style puzzle-solving and horror elements, but with a twist. Players will now have the option to choose between first- and third-person viewpoints, adding a new level of immersion to the game. The new protagonist, Grace Ashcroft, will return to Raccoon City, a location that has been a staple of the Resident Evil series since its inception.
The Capcom Spotlight event on June 26 will not only feature Resident Evil Requiem but also other highly anticipated games such as Street Fighter 6, Monster Hunter Wilds, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, and Pragmata. Fans are eagerly anticipating the event, especially with rumors swirling about the game's multiple playable characters. According to leaks and rumors, Leon S. Kennedy will be a key character in the game, though Grace Ashcroft will also play a significant role.
While it's possible that the Capcom Spotlight event may not reveal anything new or exciting for Resident Evil fans, as past events have reiterated information that was already revealed about the games, fans will still want to tune in to see if any new details are revealed about Resident Evil Requiem.
