Resident Evil Requiem

The current version is 1.3.1, released June 25, 2026. The update focuses on the Leon Must Die Forever minigame, reducing the difficulty of its Rank 1 and Rank 2 tiers and enhancing several skills to allow a wider range of enhancer combinations. It also increases the chance that hand grenades are not consumed when using the Explosives Specialist skill, boosts throwable attack power under the Throwing+ skill, and extends the duration of the Strategist skill.

Requiem splits its campaign between two playable characters with distinct gameplay identities. Grace Ashcroft sections emphasize classic survival horror: limited supplies, environmental puzzles, and choosing when to fight or flee. Leon S. Kennedy's sections lean into faster, more resource-forgiving action combat. For the first time in the series, players can freely switch between first-person and third-person camera perspectives at any point, rather than being locked to one viewpoint for the whole game.

The story is set in Raccoon City roughly thirty years after the 1998 outbreak and the government missile strike that leveled it. Grace, an FBI technical analyst, is sent to investigate a string of deaths at the ruined Wrenwood Hotel, the same location where her mother, Alyssa Ashcroft, died years earlier.
