With Resident Evil: Village proving to be a huge success for the survival-horror genre, fans are buckled up as Capcom prepares to release Resident Evil Requiem this February. Introducing a new protagonist, the storyline features FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft and Leon S. Kennedy as they battle death in Raccoon City.
