Resident Evil Requiem producer says "Leon's counterpart" Grace is "easily frightened" because you're meant to relate to her – but I think even horror vets should be disturbed by a monster who sniffs your stink

Resident Evil Requiem.

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."
