Rob has played three hours of Resident Evil Requiem and come back with some questions for you. Did you enjoy piecing together a whole police station's worth of puzzles in Resident Evil 2? Did you enjoy the unsettling shift to first-person in Resident Evil 7? Did you enjoy Leon’s big kicks in Resident Evil 4? Did you enjoy being chased by a giant creature in Resident Evil 8? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of those questions — or *all* of those questions — boy does RE9 have something in store that will play to your tastes! In fact, the game is starting to feel like a greatest hits album that’s determined to replay your favourite bits from the last few entries in the franchise. Resident Evil Requiem launches 27th February for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch 2.
