Protagonists and main mechanics

Resident Evil Requiem features Grace Ashcroft as one of the playable protagonists. Ela is the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft, a character present in Resident Evil Outbreak, and investigates events linked to her mother’s past in Raccoon City.

Grace faces sequences focused on horror and survival, with the option of first-person gameplay to intensify the immersion. Essas sections prioritize solving puzzles and managing limited resources.

Graphics technology on PC

RTX 50 series cards support advanced features at Resident Evil Requiem, including full path tracing. Essa technology delivers physically accurate reflections, shadows and lighting in real time.
