Resident Evil Requiem Storyline
Requiem will start from where the previous sequel left off. Yes! You got it absolutely right. The upcoming Resident Evil title is set years after the fall of Raccoon City. The game puts Grace Ashcroft, an FBI analyst, in the centre of the limelight, where she gets to know about spine-chilling biological experiments.
Leon S. Kennedy will return in the series and face a new wave of threats from the apocalypse. The storyline is somewhat concentrated around Grace’s investigation and Leon’s fast-paced action that could reveal something bigger for the Resident Evil fans.

If Capcom delivers what it said, it will be a worth-witnessing Resident Evil sequel that no one should miss this year.
