Capcom has revealed our first look at Resident Evil: Requiem gameplay in brief snippets shown during a livestream.
During the Capcom Spotlight event, Capcom showed a small portion of first-person gameplay, heavy on the horror and featuring new protagonist FBI Agent Grace Ashcroft. We see the character slowly move around creepy corridors with just a lighter for company. At one point, we see Ashcroft turn around to see a hulking humanoid creature close in on her from the shadows.
In another clip of first-person gameplay we see Ashcroft explore a grand hallway, this time with a handgun (as an FBI agent Ashcroft is handy with guns). She’s also able to “act with calm, deductive reasoning,” and we see her inspect a toolbox in the classic Resident Evil up close style.
And finally, we get a very brief look at third-person Resident Evil: Requiem gameplay where Ashcroft is, once again, exploring creepy corridors and poorly lit rooms. We see the horrible creature again, casually stomping in the shadows.
Resident Evil Requiem lets players switch between first- and third-person through the Options menu at any point during the campaign. Check out IGN’s Resident Evil Requiem hands-on preview for more information.
There was no big Leon Kennedy reveal, as some fans had hoped for — and even expected. If the Resident Evil veteran is playable in the game, perhaps that reveal will come later.
