Capcom reveals that Resident Evil: Requiem initially had plans for an open-world format and online play. In a recent developer diary, director Koshi Nakanishi shared that the team explored different gameplay styles but chose to return to the franchise's horror roots. Set to launch next year, the game will focus on a single-player experience in Raccoon City, aiming for a modern and dramatic atmosphere. While fans wonder about the return of Leon S. Kennedy, Nakanishi teased he might not fit the horror vibe. Requiem is shaping up to be an exciting mix of action and fear, staying true to what fans love.
