Resident Evil Requiem continues to dazzle followers and newcomers alike, primarily based on what we have seen of it to this point. The constructive reception actually takes me again to the announcement of Resident Evil 7, which returned to its extra horror-oriented roots after the sequence had continued to lean too closely into the campy facet for some.
Thus far, we have been aware of a whole lot of horrifying sequences, together with the disbelief of Grace Ashcroft, who should acclimate to her new surroundings fairly rapidly because the occasions of the sport take off. However because of some social posts from prominent Resident Evil leaker Dusk Golem, we’ve got new information to chew on.
RE9 Leak Provides Us Extra Information On When It Takes Place
There’s Probably Two Timelines
In keeping with Nightfall Golem, “most however not all” of Leon’s gameplay is allegedly set in 2020, whereas Grace’s story will largely happen in 2028. Though the leaked eyepatch version of Leon has apparently been debunked, we’ll get a “grayed hair Leon” on this, primarily based on Nightfall Golem’s leaked info. Leon’s parts will probably have extra of an motion focus, with “horror and atmospherics” on the forefront.
The leaker additionally notes that the “over-the-top stuff” like the enormous Salazar statue in Resident Evil 4, in addition to the mecha-tank combat in Resident Evil 8, is usually muted. There’ll apparently be “some over-the-top stuff,” however “nothing of that stage.” That ought to make followers of Resident Evil 7 blissful, as this story is evidently extra grounded than 8.
Leon Continues To Be A Fan Favourite Character
Hopefully We Get To See His New Look Quickly
Provided that Chris Redfield is likely not in the game in any respect (until there are some surprises in tow), Leon appears to be the main legacy character for Resident Evil Requiem. This could make a ton of followers blissful, particularly those that are large followers of Resident Evil 4, which simply acquired a shocking remake not too way back. Given how nice RE4‘s repute is total, it ought to herald a ton of outdated followers, and can possible promote in addition to Resident Evil 7 & 8, if no more, given how ubiquitous it’s platform-wise at launch.
Bear in mind, Resident Evil Requiem can be coming to Change 2, and it isn’t going to be a “cloud-based” launch this time that turns individuals off. It’s going to be a fully-fledged launch. We’ll must see the way it really performs nearer to launch, however for now, PC, PlayStation, Nintendo, and Xbox followers can all partake in RE9‘s devilish delights collectively.
Capcom has been on a roll for a while, notably with the Resident Evil sequence. Whereas I do not thoughts a whole lot of the “over-the-top” nature of the sequence, Resident Evil Requiem already seems to be like one thing particular. Based mostly on the 30-minute hands-on demo I had at PAX West, it is also shaping as much as be a extremely creepy and unsettling expertise.
