This coming Thursday, June 26, is shaping up to be a major day for survival-horror fans. Capcom has officially confirmed that Resident Evil: Requiem, the newest entry in the legendary franchise, will be featured during the upcoming Capcom Spotlight presentation.
Originally revealed as the surprise final announcement at Summer Game Fest, Resident Evil: Requiem stunned fans with a cinematic teaser confirming two exciting things: a return to Raccoon City and the introduction of Grace Ashcroft, the game’s new playable protagonist.
First- and Third-Person Gameplay Confirmed
Following the reveal, Capcom confirmed that Requiem will bring back the franchise’s signature puzzle-solving and horror gameplay, while letting players switch between first- and third-person perspectives — a feature that has generated major buzz in the community.
This dual-viewpoint flexibility signals Capcom’s intention to merge the best of both Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil 4 Remake, giving fans full control over how they experience the nightmare.
