Resident Evil Requiem revisits Raccoon City, emphasizing its history and the impact of the Umbrella Corporation. Producer Masato Kumazawa explains that after exploring broader narratives, the series is refocusing on Raccoon City’s story. Players will meet Grace Ashcroft, intended to be a relatable protagonist who embodies vulnerability, enhancing immersion and tension. This approach contrasts with earlier characters like Leon Kennedy, who was deemed unsuitable for the horror theme in this iteration. Kumazawa introduces the concept of 'addictive fear,' aiming to engage players in a gripping narrative despite potential terror.
By making Grace someone who reflects the player's own vulnerability, we believe players will enjoy a gameplay experience filled with tension and immersion.
The decision not to have Leon Kennedy as a protagonist was that he would have been "a bad match for horror."
The reason behind this concept is that recent entries in the series, such as Resident Evil Village and Re, have aimed to blend action with the horror elements.
