Zombies in Resident Evil Requiem Will Be the Most Unpredictable in the Series' History
In an interview with GameSpot, game director Kōshi Nakanishi revealed that zombies in Resident Evil Requiem will be less predictable than in previous games. Some of them retain echoes of memories and habits from their past lives, which enhances the horror atmosphere.
For example, the demo showed a janitor zombie continuing to mop floors and a chef zombie with a knife. This will affect the gameplay: the heroine Grace will be able to use their "occupation" for stealthy progression, while Leon will have to be more careful with armed opponents.
The developers are seeking a balance between the new concept and the classic zombie image.
