The anticipation for Resident Evil Requiem is growing as we approach its appearance at the Opening Night Live of Gamescom 2025, where Capcom will present new details. Meanwhile, a well-known insider has shared information that points to significant changes in the usual formula of the saga.

The person responsible for these leaks is Dusk Golem, one of the most recognized and reliable voices within the Resident Evil fan community (just yesterday, he shared information about the next two remakes in the saga). On his X profile, he revealed that the game will not only delve deeper into the use of lighting and the ability to switch between first and third person, but also incorporate significant new gameplay features.

More open world, vehicles, and two protagonists with different styles

According to the source, Resident Evil Requiem will offer larger and more open scenarios than in previous installments, to the point of requiring vehicles to explore and move quickly between areas. This decision could expand the possibilities for exploration and change the usual pace of the franchise.

• Additionally, the insider claims that the title will feature Leon S. Kennedy as a playable character, alongside Grace, an already confirmed protagonist. Each character would have a different combat system, and in Leon’s case, it’s said to have parallels with The Last of Us Part II, although no specific details have been given.
• Another highlight would be the advanced interaction with the environment and the use of physics to resolve situations or gain tactical advantages. It’s also mentioned that the main creature’s AI will be improved, allowing it to adapt to the player’s actions and increase tension and difficulty.

Dusk Golem even shared an image of Alice (from the film saga) on a motorcycle, which could be a hint at one of the means of transportation we’ll find in the game. For now, we recommend taking all the information with caution, in case it’s not entirely accurate.
