Resident Evil Requiem Unites Grace and Leon for a Raccoon City Comeback

Deadline’s Q&A with Capcom reveals Resident Evil Requiem—a 30-year-later return to Raccoon City featuring Grace Ashcroft and Leon Kennedy, told through a split narrative that contrasts fear-inducing moments and gameplay styles. The team emphasizes fear born from players’ imaginations, explains the ongoing Umbrella curse, and notes non-negotiables for delivering the series’ trauma while pairing Grace’s inexperienced perspective with Leon’s veteran experience; the game is set to release February 27 on PS5, Switch 2, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S, with fans’ questions about Claire or Ada left for future reveals.
