Key Points: Resident Evil Requiem is an open-world, multiplayer fan game set 18 years after the events of Resident Evil 3. The story follows FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft investigating the murder of her mother, Alyssa Ashcroft, who was a journalist killed 8 years prior at the Renwood Hotel. Leon Kennedy returns to the ruins of Raccoon City, and players can switch between Grace (first-person perspective with a lighter) and Leon (third-person perspective with guns). The game will feature over 100 different personalities displayed by enemies, blending elements of urban crime and modern horror suspense. RE:9 (the game this is based on) was originally planned as a multiplayer game featuring Leon and Jill Valentine but shifted to a single-player focus after poor reception. The game is releasing on February 27th for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch, with the standard edition priced at $70. The Deluxe Edition costs $90 and includes a Premium Steelbook, Lenticular Card, 5 costumes (like Grace's Dimitrescu costume), 4 weapon skins, 2 charms, an audio pack, and digital files.

Context: This video provides an overview of 'Resident Evil Requiem,' a fan-made project that evolves the concept of a multiplayer Resident Evil game, originally envisioned after the release of RE7 but heavily overhauled following the performance of RE8. The narrative centers on FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft investigating the murder of her mother, Alyssa Ashcroft, who was killed 8 years prior at the Renwood Hotel, which intersects with Leon Kennedy's return to the destroyed Raccoon City.
