How does Resident Evil 9 differ from Resident Evil 8?
Resident Evil 9: Requiem aims to be more like Resident Evil 2, focusing on horror elements, whereas Resident Evil 8, also known as Village, leaned towards action. Requiem's director describes the series as existing on a continuum between Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4, with Requiem doubling down on horror. The game also features a new system that creates a roller coaster ride between different aspects of the series, and alternates gameplay between two protagonists, Grace and Leon, with different playstyles.
