New Video of Resident Evil Requiem Confirms Return of Zombies

Resident Evil Requiem Reveals Zombie Return, Promises Dynamic Gameplay and Reduced Gore in Japanese Version

Footage of Resident Evil Requiem, aired on Japanese TV, revealed the return of zombies, the series' iconic enemies. The clip features Grace Ashcroft battling zombies in a scene reminiscent of Resident Evil 2. Dusk Golem, an insider known for Resident Evil leaks, shared the footage on X, noting that the Japanese version contains less gore than its Western counterpart—a series standard since its early installments. Dusk Golem also predicted that Resident Evil Requiem will feature dynamic situations with unpredictable enemy and player interactions. He believes this is why Capcom has avoided showcasing gameplay despite the game's proximity to launch.

Dynamic Gameplay Revealed in Resident Evil Requiem, Unexpected Outcomes Await Players

According to Dusk Golem, "I believe much of what they're hiding about Resident Evil Requiem is because it's a series game far more dynamic than usual. They want to wait until the game is released and people start sharing gameplay videos to realize things like 'What? This never happened to me.' There are various things in practically every part of the game that both players and monsters can do, which makes things happen in very different ways, and this is one of the big attractants of RE9, especially compared to previous games. It's half difficult to spoil it; it works better as a surprise, but it will be obvious when people start sharing gameplay videos of the same sections, but with completely different outcomes. I think this is a big secret they're hiding and a big difference in RE9." In related news, a sneak peek of the zombies in the upcoming movie Resident Evil: Final Chapter was revealed in a docudrama titled Legendary Games Chronicle: Biohazard, broadcast by NHK.
