A well-known whistleblower analyzes the details of the interview in "Resident Evil 9: Requiem" in detail
Recently at Capcom's press conference, "Resident Evil 9: Requiem" released an interview video of the development team. This game is expected to be released on February 27, 2026 and will be available on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S platforms.
The well-known whistleblower AestheticGamer1 conducted a detailed analysis of the details of the public developer interview content. The following is a summary of the analysis:
1. In the interview, the official stated that "Resident Evil 9: Requiem" is a single-player offline horror game. But they did mention before that Resident Evil 9 was originally developed as an online multiplayer game, and even released some short videos of the abandoned version of Resident Evil 9, but these ideas were abandoned during the development process.
2. The official realized that the direction of open world multiplayer games is not what fans want to see or play, so he refocused on the direction of horror.
3. Producer Koshi Nakanishi previously directed "Resident Evil 7" and "Resident Evil: Revelation 1". When he produced "Resident Evil 7", everything revolved around fear. He believes this technique is very popular, so for Resident Evil 9, their goal is to adopt the "Fear Core" concept of Resident Evil 7.
4. Part of the content displayed is played by the Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center. Grace Ashcroft woke up after confronting the serial killer of the Renneswood Hotel, and the artistic director also released a concept art work.
5. The visual theme of "Resident Evil 9" is "Metal & Black". Several recent Resident Evil games are set in rural areas surrounded by natural environments, so Resident Evil 9 focuses on an urban environment full of strong iron and metal texture.
6. Koshi Nakanishi only mentioned that Lyon is not the protagonist, and did not say that Lyon is not in the game.
7. Most of the plots of the game feature Grace Ashcroft, and the location is the Rhodes Chronic Disease Care Center, a small town bordering Raccoon City, which can be reached by subway.
8. Grace Ashcroft has received gun training.
9. Grace Ashcrov's wavy hair is to show her character in the design.
10. In the third person display, I caught a glimpse of some very huge stalker monsters.
