Resident Evil Requiem
Twenty years after Raccoon City's destruction, DSO agent Leon S. Kennedy and civilian analyst Grace Ashcroft are drawn back into the ruins of the city. An Umbrella remnant faction led by Victor Gideon has developed the Elpis compound — a bioweapon designed not to kill, but to force biological evolution at a cellular level. Leon and Grace must stop a global deployment while Grace confronts the truth behind her mother's death.
Review Scores
"Requiem is a pivotal work that manages to reconcile two long-standing, contrasting visions of the saga — Tension and Action. It takes the best of what Resident Evil has to offer and elevates it to a level of polish rarely seen."
"Resident Evil Requiem is an outstanding mutation of two distinct gameplay styles. Grace's more intimate and grounded exploration is married beautifully with Leon's combat heavy focus."
"One segment is a slow, terrifying haunted house tale featuring an ordinary individual. The other is a fast-paced adventure drawing directly from Resident Evil 4. Despite their differences, both halves are thoroughly engaging."
"Requiem transcends the boundaries of horror and action games — it is a heartfelt celebration of the Resident Evil legacy as it marks its 30th anniversary."
"Capcom expertly intertwines the narratives of Leon and Grace. Her terrifying moments don't linger too long, and his comedic energy doesn't overstay its welcome."
