The official website forResident Evil Requiemjust went live earlier today, and it’s revealed that the story will share some “hidden truths” about the Raccoon City outbreak.
AlthoughResident Evil’s history of outbreaks and zombies started in the first game’s Spencer Mansion, it often feels like the series started in earnest with Raccoon City.Resident Evil 2’s iconically unlucky setting is the most popular and revisited location in all of Resident Evil, and one we’ve come to know a lot about over the years.
With that in mind, it didn’t come as too much of a surprise to learn thatResident Evil Requiem, the ninth mainline game in the series, will return to Raccoon Cityas part of Grace’s story.There have been a lot of conflicting rumours about Resident Evil 9’s setting, but the official website has shared a few more details.
Resident Evil Requiem Website Confirms It’ll Share Some Hard Truths About Raccoon City
Still No Hints Towards Leon, But He’s Definitely Coming
Yesterday,the official website for Resident Evil Requiem went liveafter Summer Game Fest previews of the game were shared. While you might think that there’ssurely nothing else we can learn about the game after such a big blowout of information, you’d be wrong.As shared by Twitter user ArklayEmbers, the website includes a synopsis of the game’s story.
Most of the synopsis is information that we already know, such as Grace going to an abandoned hotel to investigate a body that’s turned up. The interesting part comes when it’s mentioned that “this one case” will lead to the “hidden truth” behind the outbreak in Raccoon City being uncovered, further suggesting its importance to the game.
Grace prepares to finally face the past and makes her way to the scene, but this one case leads to uncovering the hidden truth behind the outbreak in Raccoon City, the biological disaster that shook the world.
What that hidden truth might end up being is obviously very hard to guess right now, but it does suggest we know far from everything about Resident Evil 2’s iconic outbreak. More than anything, the focus on Raccoon Citymakes the rumours of Leon Kennedy’s return seem even more set in stone, since he’s obviously very linked to what happened way back when.
