The atmosphere around Resident Evil Requiem is getting thicker day by day, and players are already counting down the hours until the release announced for the end of this month. The new installment of the cult series is to combine well-known faces, the Umbrella theme and a more psychological tone, which caused a wave of theories and analyzes after the first materials. Each new leak therefore acts as adding fuel to the fire, especially when it concerns the plot, infections and the identity of the main threat.
According to fresh, unofficial information from a Chinese insider, the plot will focus on two heroes “marked” by Umbrellaand one of the key motifs of the entire story will be time. The leak describes, among others: Leon’s condition, with visible symptoms on his neck, is not believed to be due to a new virus, but to be a long-term effect of the events in Raccoon City, referred to as “Umbrella’s gift“. There is also the character of Victor – a tall, physically powerful and extremely calculating antagonist – who, according to the source, is not the final boss, although he plays a very important role and is supposed to be something like the Lecter-Starling relationship for Grace, and for Leon someone who suffers from the same “ailment”.
The leak also shows that Grace will receive an extensive analytical system related to her work in the FBIwhich will affect the exploration and order of examining the location, and some documents will be readable only thanks to her skills. Other survivors of Raccoon City are expected to appear in the game – not necessarily always physically – and one of the characters contacting Leon in the trailer is allegedly Sherry. The insider also suggested Ada’s possible involvement in the background of the events. The final boss is supposed to be “surprising” and only say one line in the trailers, and there is also a loose suggestion that it may be about Spencer, but the whole thing should be treated with great caution.
At the end of the day, you have to remember that these are still unconfirmed rumorsand many elements could have changed at this stage. After all, even the most reliable insiders can be wrong.
