You don't see people like Resident Evil Requiem protagonist Grace Ashcroft often in the franchise, which is usually inhospitable for any character who isn't a gunslinging special agent bubble-wrapped in a bullet-proof vest. But Capcom producer Masato Kumazawa says Grace's inexperience is her strength – her screams are meant to echo your own. Grace, daughter of Resident Evil Outbreak's murdered journalist Alyssa, is an FBI agent… from the comfortable distance of her office desk. Resident Evil Requiem makes her belly flop into the deep end after she's made to investigate a strange death at the Wrenwood Hotel, where her mother was killed years ago. Resident Evil Requiem's dual protagonists aim to marry "the most terrifying horror and the most thrilling action" Resident Evil Requiem's protagonists are so different, Capcom says "it’s almost like having 2 games" Capcom says Resident Evil Requiem's "stalker" enemy will only be "a small part of the game," improving the worst thing about my favorite game franchise "Of course," Kumazawa disclaims, "she will fight, resist, and grow as the story progresses, and we hope you will experience the exhilaration of overcoming fear alongside her." But, in Grace's defense, I imagine even the most confident Resident Evil veteran will be disturbed by Requiem's new stalker monster, who stumbles around looking for you while deeply inhaling your smell. According to Kumazawa, this stalker's "actions further reinforce the impression of 'fearful Grace' with new added twists such as breaking through ceilings and walls, or sniffing the air to heighten the player's unease." Remind me to spritz on some Chanel before I get infected with T-virus. By offering two very different protagonists, Resident Evil Requiem aims to marry "the most terrifying horror and the most thrilling action."
