Resident Evil Requiem director Akifumi Nakanishi said the impending sequel is “almost evenly split” between the two main characters: stealth newcomer Grace and returning mass zombie killer Leon S. Kennedy. After a few hours of playing at Capcom HQ, a chapter that clearly follows the pure horror hag avoidance endured by Edwin, I hope it’s an imperfect translation – Leon’s gun-fu action brawls can mesh surprisingly well with Grace’s creepy “and” sneak sections, but those tension-breakers seem best deployed sparingly. It’s not that I disliked Leon’s introduction. It was a brief but intense flurry of headshots and hatchet swings in…
overviewA mysterious stranger called “Mob” appears from nowhere and approaches Chie, wanting to talk about Kaya. Naturally, Chie ignores him at first, but in the end… our view A continuation of the previous episode, it leans into a more disturbing atmosphere while balancing moments of fragile normalcy.

overviewCry forms a team to protect the Emperor. Nothing happened on the first day, but it’s not over yet.our view Continuing from the previous episode, Cry begins the newly formed Escorts arc with the same brand of chaotic comedy that defines the series.

All around him, questionable allies, eccentric allies, and poorly concealed threats begin to surface, and the sense that this mission is destined…

overviewBon explains how his friends lived after Fushi fell asleep centuries ago.our view Continuing from the previous episode, this chapter shifts the focus inward, providing an introspective context rather than forward momentum. By exploring the past and emotional fallout surrounding Fushi and those closest to him, this episode reframes recent events through a more personal lens, serving as an excellent callback to season 2 as longtime companions gain new attention and their respective paths shaped by time, distance, and choice highlight how deeply Fushi’s presence affects others, even if he himself feels disconnected or lost.The heart of this episode tackles…
As anyone who has edited me over the years knows, I’m not a great typist. Or, ironically, as I originally spelled it, typepost. Every time I press a key, an extra character comes in, all the letters in the word get jumbled up, and the most common sin I commit is skipping entire words entirely in my rush to get to the end of a sentence. So, with some trepidation, I installed the Typing Break demo. In this game, the only thing standing between you and the hordes of enemies descending from the screen is your ability to type words…
