Development Focus
The development of Requiem began before Resident Evil Village, with a deliberate shift away from action to deepen the horror experience. Kumazawa mentioned the design includes non-horror or brief action sequences to enhance the tension of subsequent horror moments.
The creative team aims for sustained fear from start to finish. This new strategy builds upon feedback and interactions with the gaming community, as noted by Kumazawa, who has actively engaged with player comments to refine the game.
