Eagle-eyed Resident Evil fans have pointed out that Alyssa Ashcroft, a key character in Resident Evil Requiem, actually made a cameo all the way back in Resident Evil 7.
Yesterday's Summer Game Fest showcase was one of the biggest rollercoasters for Resident Evil fans. After cheekily saying that Resident Evil 9 would need a little more time before being shown off, Capcom pulled an amazing bait and switch by announcing Resident Evil Requiem as the show's final reveal.
Requiem's debut trailer focused on a new character, not old favorites.
What we saw of the ninth Resident Evil was very interesting, as it's introducing a character called Grace Ashcroft who appears to be one of Requiem's protagonists. If you're a long-term Resident Evil fan, the name Ashcroft probably rang a few bells, as Grace is the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft, an investigative reporter who first appeared in Resident Evil Outbreak.
Sadly, the trailer for Requiem confirms that Alyssa was killed at some point after the Resident Evil Outbreak games, as Grace is reluctant to go to the hotel where she died to help with an investigation. It's not really known what happened to Alyssa so far, as it's clearly...
