Gameplay overview
Requiem uses two protagonists with different tones. Grace Ashcroft’s sections emphasize survival horror, vulnerability, investigation, and resource pressure, while Leon S. Kennedy brings a more action-heavy combat style.
Players can switch between first-person and third-person perspectives. Combat, exploration, puzzle solving, limited resources, and enemy encounters shift in intensity between the two protagonists.
Story, setting, or main mode
Grace Ashcroft is drawn into an investigation connected to a mysterious death and the abandoned Wrenwood Hotel, while Leon S. Kennedy’s path intersects with the wider crisis.
The story reconnects the series with Raccoon City and its legacy decades after the original catastrophe, combining new characters and locations with one of Resident Evil’s defining settings.
