Recently, a well-known whistleblower DuskGolem tweeted, revealing new details of "Resident Evil 9: Requiem".The plot of Lyon Kennedy mainly takes place in 2020, and its gameplay combines high-intensity action with a classic horror atmosphere.
It is reported that most of the plot in Lyon is set in 2020, while the storyline of the new character Grace Ashcroft is focused on 2028.This time difference may be presented through fragmented narratives or memory flashbacks, suggesting that there is a deep connection between the fate of the two.
It is worth noting that Grace is the daughter of Resident Evil: Breaking Out of the Year series character Alisa Ashcroft, who survived the Raccoon City incident and became a reporter.This setting may lay the groundwork for the narrative of the two protagonists.
Lyon will appear in "Resident Evil 9" with a gray hair style and a black jacket to show his vicissitudes of life.His gameplay will pay more attention to action, but will also focus on creating a horror atmosphere.
Lyon’s chapters are not open worlds, but contain multiple large explorable levels.In at least one level, the player will control the vehicle to travel through the ruins.Although these levels retain linear flow, they provide replay value through bifurcated paths and hidden props.
DuskGolem also revealed that the familiar faces appearing in Resident Evil 9 are not only Lyon and Alisa, but they will not be like Avengers 4: Endgame.The main character lineup will be smaller than Resident Evil 6, with only Lyon, Grace and Alisa being the actionable characters.
It is worth mentioning that Capcom is optimizing the performance of the open area of "Resident Evil 9" to ensure that scenarios such as Raccoon Market run smoothly on platforms such as Switch2.
