Players will face a claustrophobic atmosphere, complex puzzles and inventory management, as well as a rich combat system where accuracy and tactics are important. The studio emphasizes that the game will not be limited to the "run and hide" scheme - the battles will be intense and enjoyable.
Particular attention is drawn to the new enemies - "evolved" zombies, requiring new strategies. Some hit their heads against mirrors, attack when there is noise in the environment, which makes each corridor and battle unique.
The shown fragment takes place in the Rhode Hill Chronic Care hospital - this is just the beginning of the story, which will unfold outside of Raccoon City.
The main character, Grace, is the most timid and withdrawn character in the franchise. Overcoming extreme situations, she will gain confidence, new weapons and skills. At the same time, Alyssa will reveal a secret related to the incident in Raccoon City, linking Requiem to the classics of the series.
Capcom notes that the game will be more difficult than previous installments, but with a difficulty level system: on easy, enemies are less aggressive, auto-targeting is enabled, which makes Resident Evil Requiem accessible to newcomers and at the same time demanding for fans.
