Available for PC as well as the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch consoles, the latest installment returns to its roots, drawing players into a gripping narrative that uncovers a dark conspiracy in the fictional US town of Raccoon City. According to game director Koshi Nakanishi, it was time to revisit a familiar setting, which has become synonymous with the franchise. In an August interview with AFP, he noted, It's a very well-known setting, and we wanted to bring back that sense of familiarity for our fans.

New Protagonist and Familiar Faces

The game boasts over 200 people in its development team, featuring new protagonist FBI agent Grace, as well as fan-favorite action hero Leon Kennedy. The creators masterfully alternate between oppressive first-person sequences, designed to emphasize the characters' vulnerability, and third-person action scenes that showcase the series' signature intensity.
