Residents Evil fans, the rumor mills churning in full force yet again. after the beautiful announcement, These whispers are turning into shouts about some really exciting new info released by the insider AestheticGamer, or Dusk Golem, widely known in the Resident Evil community. This might actually be the first legitimate information on what is rumored to be Resident Evil 9, it will bear the name Resident Evil Requiem, or, with some wit, RE9quiem.
So then, whats all this commotion about Lets get down to the details with what AestheticGamer has got to share.
Loudest of all, though, must be the great news that an iconic hero is returning. Thats right - Leon S. Kennedy is apparently going to star in this new installation He is not alone either. Joining Leon will be Grace Ashcroft, a new character central to the storyline. And for a real treat for the veterans, Grace is supposedly the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft, namesake to many from the Resident Evil Outbreak series. How cool is that in terms of fans making this connection through the long history of the series
AestheticGamer has also added that there will indeed be more info and a big Resident Evil Requiem breakdown on the way quite soon. The excitement has already begun building
Whos Actually at the Helm of the Operation
Now, this is an interesting point raised by the leaker. While both Leon and Grace are central, its suggested Leon will be the main playable character. Players are expected to spend more time controlling Leon than Grace through the course of the game. It is this hint that suggests Leon is in the initial trailer and isnt immediately clear in the rest of the marketing push and final game.
This is certainly interesting. Will it be a dual-protagonist tale in which the focus shifts more to Leon Or will Grace just play the role of support lead Only time (and more leaks or official confirmations) will tell.
Of course, one must consider the evocative title, Requiem. A requiem is a mass for the repose of the souls of the dead, and does this imply a particularly grave or final tone to this chapter And what kind of horrors will Leon face during this adventure, with him being at the forefront That also opens up some interesting storytelling avenues with a character tied to Outbreak.
As of today, it is just leaks and insider information. Though AestheticGamer has a pretty strong reputation on such things, holding breath for Capcums voice is in order. What about now Well, the hype-train for Resident Evil Requiem sounds well and truly ready for departure
