[summaraize]
After this past weekend’s reveal of Resident Evil 9, which is now officially known as Resident Evil Requiem, a lot of questions remain unanswered. While we have no doubt Capcom will keep the mystery alive by not revealing everything at once about the upcoming horror game, we should also expect a tricle of information to be shared once in a while.
Today, that changes a bit, as the company has shared our first story details about Resident Evil Requiem.
Resident Evil Requiem First Official Story, Grace Ashcroft Details Shared by Capcom
Capcom has updated the official Resident Evil website’s Requiem portal, and have added info on the game’s story, Grace Ashcroft and more. It might not be anything groundbreaking, but it is new info to chew on nonetheless.
Story
Everything is set in motion when a body—the victim of an unidentifiable disease—is discovered in an abandoned hotel.
FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft is assigned to the case. But the crime scene is at the very same hotel where her mother died eight years ago.
Grace prepares to finally face the past and makes her way to the scene, but this one case leads to uncovering the hidden truth behind the outbreak in Raccoon City, the biological disaster that shook the world.
Will this be the requiem that finally lays the memories of that abhorrent disaster to rest?
Character
Grace Ashcroft
An intelligence analyst for the FBI who demonstrates intense focus and insight in deductive reasoning and analysis.
Her mother’s death shook her to the soul, making her an introvert who immerses herself in work.
So she heads to the abandoned hotel alone to investigate this mysterious death.
Location
Raccoon City
A midwestern city in the United States and the headquarters for the former global pharmaceutical company, Umbrella.
In the face of the zombie outbreak in 1998, the government approved a sterilization operation, a missile strike on the city in an attempt to quickly bring the situation under control—but this was swiftly covered up.
Gameplay
Experience the series’ classic survival horror through combat, investigations, puzzles, and resource management. Gameplay allows you to freely switch between first and third-person views to face the horrors in a way that suits your playstyle.
Based on the story premise, Grace Ashcroft is the main character, although rumors suggest a familiar face will play a significant role in the game as well. Capcom is likely keeping things close to its chest, so expect many surprises to be revealed in the coming weeks and months leading up to the release.

I don’t like this behind closed doors style of revealing a game’s gameplay. It sounds very Cyberpunk 2077 scummy style of a scam, which is definitely something you don’t want to be compared to.
