Resident Evil Requiem delivers new details direct from the developers

Capcom released a new look at Resident Evil Requiem during their recent Capcom Spotlight Showcase, which gives players a good look at the game, check it out below.

Director Koshi Nakanishi, art director Tomonori Takano, and producers Masachika Kawata and Masato Kumazawa explain that players can look forward to a game fuelled by “addictive fear,” with horror at the heart of its gameplay.

The development team also revealed more details on the series’ newest protagonist, Grace Ashcroft, an FBI intelligence analyst who is introverted and easily scared, introducing a new type of character for the Resident Evil series. Grace will experience horror from the same perspective as the player as she learns to overcome her fears throughout the course of the story. Though timid, she’s also trained with firearms and uses deductive reasoning to stay calm under pressure.

The team has also gone to great lengths to deliver an unprecedented level of realism, down to minute character details like the redness of Grace’s face as she’s hanging upside down, and the natural movement of her hair, modeled in part using a custom-made wig as reference.

The game is coming to PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on February 27, so there is a good wait ahead.
