Resident Evil Requiem director Akifumi Nakanishi has said the imminent sequel is “almost equally split” between its two protagonists, stealthy newcomer Grace and returning mass zombie murderer Leon S. Kennedy. After playing a few hours at Capcom HQ, a chapter that apparently follows on immediately from the pure horror hag-dodging that Edwin endured, I’m hoping that’s an imperfect translation – Leon’s gun fu action brawls can mesh surprisingly well with Grace’s spook ‘n’ sneak sections, but those tension breakers seem best deployed sparingly.
