2026 marks Resident Evil's 30th anniversary. What better way to celebrate than with the release of a blood-shiny new mainline entry? Resident Evil Requiem is so close now, we can practically smell the viscera and various icky juices. Better yet, three decades on, the series is still showing no signs of slowing down when it comes to trying new things.
One of those new things is FBI intelligence analyst Grace Ashcroft, who was still believed (or, more accurately, claimed) to be the sole protagonist at the time of our hands-on with the game. Sent to investigate a series of mysterious deaths – including, in a somewhat unfortunate coincidence, the scene of her mother's murder eight years prior – things soon become even more gruesome and horrific than expected. She may be an FBI agent, but she's totally unprepared for the undead monstrosity stalking her through our demo. As a result, she's something of a terrified mess, utterly defenseless and clumsy with fear.
