Our first look at Resident Evil Requiem gameplay is here as Capcom explains why Leon wouldn't have made for a good protagonist
Briefly

The Resident Evil Requiem segment during Capcom's Spotlight provided a glimpse into the game, revealing that protagonist Grace Ashcroft is linked to the Ashcroft family from the Outbreak series. Instead of continuing the Winters family arc, Capcom aims to reconnect with the overarching narrative of Raccoon City and Umbrella, coinciding with the series' 30th anniversary. Leon Kennedy was bypassed as the protagonist to make room for an easily frightened character that reflects the player's experience, showcasing both action and relatability through Ashcroft's background as a trained FBI agent.
Capcom developers confirmed that the game's protagonist, Grace, is a descendant of the Ashcroft family from the Resident Evil Outbreak series.
The decision to feature Grace Ashcroft, an inexperienced FBI agent, allows players to relate more closely to the protagonist and experience genuine fear.
