Resident Evil 9 Nearly Repeated Resident Evil 6's Mistake

Resident Evil 9's Horror Shift: Leon's Action Overwhelm, Grace Takes Charge

Capcom abandoned its initial concept for Resident Evil 9: Requiem, which would have starred Leon S. Kennedy, because the developers couldn't create a sufficiently terrifying experience for the series' long-time protagonist. Capcom's primary goal for Resident Evil 9 was to emphasize horror, but they found that action elements took over when designing a game around Leon—a problem that recalled the issues critics had with Resident Evil 6, which was considered too focused on acrobatic action. Capcom then shifted direction, focusing on the character Grace Ashcroft to deliver the dramatic, intense horror experience of games like Resident Evil 7 and Village. The development team was impressed with elements from their work featuring Leon and decided to include him in Resident Evil: Requiem, where he will appear in high-action sequences showcasing stylized counterattacks. Resident Evil: Requiem begins with Grace Ashcroft in an FBI building, set before Raccoon City is completely overrun by zombies. Rumors suggest the game may incorporate open-world features. Currently, the trailers lack actual gameplay footage, making it difficult to gauge whether the final product will align with the cinematic trailers. Capcom showcased brief glimpses of the earlier version of Resident Evil 9 featuring Leon in their recent presentation.
