Time

The future never looked so faintly

Timelines are always a complicated thing we have to deal with in any franchise, but there are very few gaming series that are as complex and intricate as Resident Evil. So many spinoffs and main titles, it can be difficult to determine exactly when everything takes place, but the trailer gives a good idea of ​​the general era where players will investigate again.

The detonation itself was back in 1998 and when Grace was clearly in its 1920s, along with several details of previous games, it is clear that it is clear that Requiem is intended as a modern title, so it takes place around 2025 with a letter found in Re7 From Alyssa of 2016, along with the mention in the trailer that he will die eight years before.

Infection

A virus or sponge or something between

Infections and viruses are bread and butter from Resident Evil, And it is clear that players will again face horror beyond understanding in the last installment. At present, it is not clear whether the zombies in the trailer are infected with a new virus or from the previous name, but it is known that there is some unknown new disease that is free and killing people one by one.

In the past, the umbrella was very out of the chain when they were experimenting and lack of care in terms of their viruses, and now it is clear that another organization or individual is determined to see the fall of others with a new form of infection that brings a completely new set of pain and horrors that are yet to be seen.

Hotel Wrenwood

Return to the past

There are a few moments in the trailer, both in dialogue and visuals that indicate a specific location that can be part of the game. The Wrenwood Hotel is referred to as the place where Alyssa was murdered, and the flashbacks that are visible show more than just cutscene.

The flashes of Alyssa, which are seen from the first person's point of view, which means that either the grace again experienced her memory, or simply remembered her mother's death. Either way, flashes show a kind of perspective that reminds very much Re7 Tapes that allowed players to enter memory and relive the moment from the past. Whatever the case, the hotel will clearly play an important role in the story and how players reveal the mysteries in it.

Bomb

Not completely nuclear disaster

No Resident Evil Fan knows that the poor old town of Raccoon was blown into pieces in various games and era. The explosion itself remains the only act of destroying, but the actual specifics surrounding the explosion are often incorrectly unloaded due to the transition of time axes and complicated stories that overlap and connect.

But in the latest trailer, the explosion is displayed in its entire glory, which points to the extent of destruction and at the same time shows that the explosion has never been nuclear origin and instead a thermobaric bomb. The importance of this is that players will be able to visit the city or at least part of it, which would not be possible with a more destructive explosion.

RPD links

Easter eggs and fine details

When the RPD brand first showed up in the trailer, it was an allusion for fans to jump out of its seats. The return to one of the most popular places in the franchise threw all the expectations that players could have, and there are more than a few inclusions that make the whole scene even more excited.

For one, there is an overall interior arrangement that remains exactly as it was in Re2. The statue, the door, the staircase, everything is as it was, just with a healthy explosive explosion on it. In addition to the obvious outdoor, there are several vehicles, especially the jeep belonging to Leon, who remained on that fateful day and can serve as an Easter egg for eager fans or link, because many fans speculate that he is even more of his story.

Title card

What does it mean?

Capcom himself was quite open to the future RE series. They do not intend to end the story with this title, but they would like to get rid of numbers to expand the universe in different directions without being tied to a set of digits. In this case, the name is another smart liner as Village, Where the number itself is neatly inserted into the name of the game.

However, the title card shows more than just a number, because the text itself is stylized deliberately, it seems to be connected in the same way as the serial murderer can send messages to the world. In addition to the text, the title speaks of the kind of story that players will be involved in the game, with the slogan introducing “Requiem for the dead. Nightmare for Living”, showing that the game will explore the past in a large way and bring a lot of psychological horrors.
