Capcom has premiered the first Resident Evil Requiem gameplay, showcasing the game’s first and third-person views.
Resident Evil Requiemwas announced earlier this month atThe Game Awards, and is releasing on February 27 onPS5,Xbox Series X/S, andPC.
The game will mark a “bold shift for the franchise,” according toCapcom, and stars Grace Ashcroft, the daughter ofResident EvilOutbreak’s Alyssa, an FBI analyst investigating a series of mysterious deaths in Raccoon City, 30 years after it was bombed in the events ofResident Evil 3.
According to director Koshi Nakanishi (Resident Evil 7), unlike past Resident Evil protagonists, Grace has little combat experience, which means players will watch her learn and grow as the game progresses.
“Requiem, initially at least, looks like a familiar successor to the first-person games RE7 and Village, with Ashcroft trapped in some sort of gothic hospital,” VGC wrote ina recent Resident Evil Requiem preview.
“As the player progresses further through the dimly lit corridors, with flickering lights casting unsettling shadows across the environment, it’s clear that in this section at least, Requiem really does feel like the traditional survival horror we were promised.”
