Unveiling Resident Evil Requiem's Character Gameplay: Leon vs. Grace

Capcom's Resident Evil Requiem Showcase highlighted the impactful differences in gameplay depending on which character players control. The showcase was light on story details but revealed the introduction of new difficulty settings for the franchise. The new protagonist, Grace Ashcroft, embodies a return to a classic horror gameplay style reminiscent of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 6, whereas players controlling Leon S. Kennedy will experience a more action-packed tone similar to Resident Evil 4.

It appears players will be directed to specific narrative segments based on the character, limiting the choice of who to control in certain scenarios. Though Grace is portrayed as physically weaker than Leon, she possesses unique abilities to compensate. For instance, she can craft weapons using the blood of infected foes. Additionally, when combat demands, Grace can wield a powerful firearm named Requiem, but players should be cautious since its ammunition will be scarce.
