The face models for Resident Evil Requiem protagonist Grace Ashcroft and her mother Alyssa Ashcroft have finally been confirmed, giving fans an exciting new glimpse into the characters of Capcom’s upcoming survival horror title.
Set to launch on February 27, 2026, Resident Evil Requiem is one of the most eagerly awaited horror games of the decade. The game was officially announced during Summer Game Fest 2025, and since then, Capcom has steadily revealed new details about its chilling storyline and characters.
Grace Ashcroft and Alyssa Ashcroft Confirmed
According to recent interviews compiled by prominent leaker Dusk Golem, the roles of the two key characters have now been revealed:
-
Grace Ashcroft will be played by Julia Pratt
-
Alyssa Ashcroft will be played by Kate Delic
Grace, the game’s protagonist, is an FBI agent investigating mysterious deaths at a haunted hotel. Fans of the franchise will recognize Alyssa, who originally appeared in Resident Evil Outbreak. In Requiem, she returns as Grace’s mother, despite having been thought dead in the very same hotel years earlier.
The Story of Resident Evil Requiem
The upcoming title is set approximately 30 years after the destruction of Raccoon City in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. While Capcom has remained tight-lipped about the full story, hints suggest that Grace will uncover dark truths not only about her mother’s past but also about the hidden horrors that extend beyond Raccoon City.
Dusk Golem also confirmed that:
-
Zombies will be the main enemies once again, though players will encounter a variety of other terrifying monsters throughout the story.
-
Alyssa was considered the “natural choice” for the narrative focus, as developers wanted to further explore the city’s lingering secrets.
-
Raccoon City itself will not be the sole setting, with other major locations playing an important role in the horror experience.
Will Leon Kennedy Return?
Interestingly, the interviews did not mention Leon S. Kennedy, despite multiple rumors suggesting he could appear as one of the protagonists. Capcom has not confirmed Leon’s involvement, keeping fans guessing whether the fan-favorite agent will return in Requiem.
What’s Next for Resident Evil Requiem
Fans eager for more information should keep an eye on Tokyo Game Show 2025, taking place on September 24. Resident Evil Requiem is expected to be showcased during the event, potentially revealing new gameplay footage, plot details, or additional character confirmations.
With its confirmed face models and expanding lore, Resident Evil Requiem is shaping up to be one of Capcom’s most ambitious and highly anticipated entries in the franchise.
