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.
"As Leon's counterpart," Kumazawa tells GamesRadar+ in reference to himbo hero Leon Kennedy, "we introduced Grace, an easily frightened character who is experiencing a biohazard situation for the first time. We felt this would deliver a fresh experience not seen in past RE titles, and that players would grow attached to Grace, sharing her fears."
