In Resident Evil Requiem, players control two characters – Leon Kennedy and FBI agent Grace, who gets pulled into a series of mysterious events around Raccoon City.
Each character plays very differently. Grace relies on stealth and avoidance, steering clear of the undead wherever possible, while Leon takes a far more direct and brutal approach to dealing with zombies.
If you've already purchased the game on Steam, you can preload it now and be ready to play the moment it unlocks.
