During the Summer Game Fest in 2025, Jun Takeuchi revealed the next installment of Resident Evil, titled 'Requiem'. The game introduces a new protagonist, Grace Ashcroft, who may have ties to previous characters. Players can seamlessly switch between first- and third-person perspectives, enhancing gameplay flexibility compared to earlier titles. Hands-on impressions of the game suggest that Requiem aims to combine the immersive storytelling of first-person with the updated mechanics seen in recent remakes. The directorial approach in cutscenes highlights character interaction and keeps players engaged.
By the end of the show, RE9, or Requiem as we now know it, was revealed, pulling the rug from under our collective feet.
It's third- and first-person. At any point while playing, you can pause the game and switch from one perspective to another whenever you see fit.
This is especially apparent in Requiem's cutscenes that are directed cinematically, seeing Grace interact within the scene, opposed to Biohazard and Village.
That said, first-person is still recommended by the game.
