Quick Answer
If you are entering the Resident Evil Requiem site and only need to understand who this game is really about, why it returns to Raccoon City, and whether the opening is more survival horror than pure action, the official reveal trailer is still the cleanest starting point. It already answers three useful setup questions: Grace Ashcroft is the key entry character, the story deliberately reconnects to the trauma of Raccoon City, and the tone swings back toward sustained horror pressure instead of nonstop power fantasy.
What to watch for first
| Checkpoint | What to confirm | Why it matters |
|---|
| Grace’s role | She is not framed like a hardened legacy action lead | This tells you to prioritize route, survival, and blocker pages first |
| Return to Raccoon City | Capcom is deliberately reconnecting the story to the city and its fallout | Future map, lore, and route pages will hinge on this |
| Horror priority | The official direction leans back toward stronger survival horror tension | Helps decide how cautiously to approach the first run |
| Grace’s connection to the city | Grace and the Ashcroft line give the story a personal tie to the incident | Useful when choosing between spoiler-light story prep and mechanics pages |
| Reading order after the trailer | The trailer sets direction, not execution | You should move straight into FAQ, route, or video pages instead of stopping here |
Quick steps
- Watch the trailer once, then use this page to separate confirmed setup from assumption.
- If your main problem is site orientation, go next to the Beginner FAQ.
- If you are already thinking about comfort, pressure, and camera choice, continue to First-person vs third-person.
- If you want a long-term follow path, save the Video Guides hub and the Starter Route section.
Confirmed setup points
| Category | Confirmed detail | Why to use it |
|---|
| Lead framing | Grace Ashcroft is the public entry point in the reveal material | Supports beginner-facing route and story-prep pages |
| Story anchor | The official framing returns to Raccoon City and Umbrella’s legacy | Supports route, location, and recap content |
| Series role | This is the ninth mainline Resident Evil entry | Useful for “do I need prior knowledge?” FAQ work |
| Tone | Official commentary pushes the game back toward stronger horror tension | Helps readers decide how to approach the opening |
| Reading flow | The trailer gives direction, but not the practical route | Sends readers into FAQ, route, systems, and video pages |
Before you watch
- This trailer is best for orientation, not for learning puzzles or combat execution.
- It establishes Grace, Raccoon City, and tone, but it does not replace the starter route or systems explanations.
- If you are mostly worried about fear level, do not loop the trailer. Move to the camera-choice page instead.
Common mistakes
- Assuming Leon chatter means Grace’s opening context is not the real starting point.
- Focusing only on the nostalgia of Raccoon City and missing the heavier horror emphasis.
- Treating mood shots like step-by-step gameplay instruction and then entering the opening with no route plan.
