An intertwined journey of two destinies

- Grace Ashcroft: An intelligence analyst with the FBI known for her sharp deductive skills. After her mother's death, she becomes withdrawn and ventures into an abandoned hotel to uncover the mysteries tied to her family's tragedy.
- Leon S. Kennedy: A seasoned agent of the DSO and a survivor of the 1998 Raccoon City incident. With elite combat skills, Leon S. Kennedy returns to the Midwest to confront a new wave of bioterrorism threatening to rise once again.
A pure survival horror experience
Staying true to the franchise’s roots, Resident Evil Requiem focuses on core gameplay elements: combat, investigation, puzzle-solving, and resource management. One standout feature is the ability to seamlessly switch between first-person and third-person perspectives, allowing players to tailor how they confront fear based on personal preference.
"Requiem for the dead. Nightmare for the living." — An ominous message that echoes throughout the journey to uncover the secrets behind the Umbrella corporation and the hidden conspiracies lurking within Raccoon City.
