Alyssa Ashcroft’s Return in Resident Evil 9: Requiem – Raccoon City Veteran and Umbrella Investigator
Alyssa Ashcroft, a familiar face to Resident Evil fans and the mother of Grace Ashcroft, is confirmed to appear in Resident Evil 9: Requiem. Her presence was first revealed at Gamescom 2025. Capcom officially confirmed Requiem at its Capcom Next event in July 2024, with a release date set for February 27, 2026, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Alyssa’s history within the Resident Evil universe is extensive. She first appeared in Resident Evil: Outbreak, a 2004 PlayStation 2 title, where players assumed the roles of citizens, including Alyssa, surviving a viral outbreak in Raccoon City—a setting famously featured in Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3. Throughout her career, Alyssa dedicated herself to investigating the Umbrella Corporation’s suspicious activities, particularly those linked to the Arklay Mountains, home to the iconic mansion from the first Resident Evil. During Raccoon City’s devastation by a viral outbreak and subsequent zombie infestation, Alyssa not only survived but also exposed Umbrella’s citywide conspiracy. She escaped just before the U.S. government deployed a nuclear device to contain the T-virus and other viral agents.
Alyssa Ashcroft’s Tragic End at Wrenwood Hotel Before Grace’s Quest in Resident Evil 9: Raccoon City and Umbrella Investigation Revisit
Following the Raccoon City incident, Alyssa continued to probe the operations of Umbrella and other biological weapons developers. A letter authored by Alyssa, found in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, hinted at her ongoing hunt for information about mysterious disappearances, referencing her investigation into the Baker house. A new trailer for Resident Evil 9: Requiem offers insight into Alyssa’s fate: she was killed eight years prior at the Wrenwood Hotel while accompanying her daughter, Grace. The game centers on Grace Ashcroft, who returns to the Wrenwood Hotel early in the narrative. Her objective is to investigate a series of suspicious deaths, primarily seeking answers about her mother’s murder at that very location. While the focus is on the Wrenwood Hotel, Resident Evil 9 will also revisit Raccoon City in its post-nuclear destruction state.
