The ninth instalment in the Resident Evil franchise is launching this month and sees the return of some beloved characters.

Leon Kennedy – now a lot older – is back and he’s still the master of the spin-kick. But also a new character – Grace Ashcroft – the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft who you may remember from Resident Evil Outbreak makes her debut.

Leon and Grace will share lead duties in this game, each with their own abilities and personalities. Requiem seems like it could be the beginning of a new story following the Winters cases and suggests some big things are about to happen to characters we know and love, and there’s a deeper story at play.

To get the most out of the game, you’re going to want the Deluxe Edition, which includes some fun references to previous Resident Evil games and bundles the following content..
