Greetings, survivors!
The nightmare is almost upon us. With the launch of Resident Evil Requiem just around the corner on February 27, now is the perfect time to secure your pre-order. By doing so, you’ll receive the exclusive “Grace’s Costume: Apocalypse” bonus outfit, ensuring you’re geared up to face this bold new chapter in survival horror.
Pre-order Resident Evil Requiem on Steam
The recent Resident Evil Showcase provided a deep dive into the harrowing world of Requiem. Director Koshi Nakanishi offered an extensive look at the distinct gameplay styles of our two protagonists: Grace and Leon. While Grace’s journey is defined by suffocating tension and primal terror, Leon’s segments lean into high-octane exhilaration and suspense. This juxtaposition promises an emotional journey unlike any other title in the series. The broadcast is packed with fresh details and sneak peeks—be sure to watch it below.
Two Fates Entwined
Step into the shoes of FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft, a civilian cast into a world of pure survival, and rejoin legendary agent Leon S. Kennedy for pulse-pounding action. Their paths converge in a narrative that will leave you breathless, anchored by a secret that ties their survival back to the haunting tragedy of Raccoon City in 1998.
Surviving as Grace Ashcroft
Thrust into a nightmare involving creatures beyond reason, Grace is ill-equipped for the carnage she faces. Despite basic firearms training, she is a novice to true combat. Players must guide her through overrun environments, managing meager supplies and relying on their wits. In this state of vulnerability, courage is your most valuable asset.
High-Stakes Action: Playing as Leon S. Kennedy
As a seasoned DSO agent, Leon is the polar opposite of Grace. Having survived countless brushes with death, he utilizes expert marksmanship and elite hand-to-hand combat to navigate the deadly Midwest investigation. Prepare for a kinetic, thrill-ride experience where you are the hunter, not just the hunted.
Precision and Brutality
Meet “The Requiem,” a powerful, custom-made assault revolver that serves as a symbolic cornerstone of the game. Its destructive power is immense, but ammunition is scarce; choose your targets wisely. When the distance closes, rely on Leon’s hatchet and environmental combat—parry attacks, bash enemies, and turn the landscape itself into a weapon.
Resourcefulness is Key
Survival hinges on more than just trigger discipline. Exploration is vital to managing your limited inventory. As Grace, scavenge for Blood and raw materials to craft essential health items and ammunition. Leon, meanwhile, can focus on upgrading his professional arsenal—or, in desperate times, scavenging weaponry dropped by the infected.
The Mystery of “Elpis”
At the center of it all lies the enigmatic “Elpis.” It is the thread connecting the death of Grace’s mother, Alyssa, to the hidden burdens Leon carries. Uncovering these dark truths is the ultimate test for the player.
A New Breed of Horror
The enemies in Requiem are mindless, yet unsettling. They often perform fragmented loops of their former lives—a chef stirring an empty pot, a singer crooning to a corpse. Do not be deceived; these bizarre behavioral cycles mask a predatory, immediate aggression the moment you are spotted.
Tailor Your Experience
Experience the terror your way with seamless switching between 1st and 3rd person perspectives. For those new to the series, Casual Mode offers Aim Assist for a smoother experience. Veterans craving the true survival horror grind should opt for Standard Classic Mode, which mandates the use of ink ribbons at typewriters—a challenge that heightens the atmosphere to a breaking point.
Thank you to our incredible community for your continued passion. We can’t wait to see you in the field on February 27.
