Resident Evil Requiem Will Have Characters From The Previous Games

Resident Evil Requiem is confirmed to tell the story about brand new character in the franchise - Grace Ashcroft, who is the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft from Resident Evil Outbreak. A lof of fans are speculation will we see any familiar faces from previous Resident Evil titles in Requiem and the new report might say it's getting more likely and likely.

According to the game's producer Masato Kumazawa we may have see some characters from previous games returning for Resident Evil Requiem. He was asked specifically are we going to see any characters from Resident Evil Outbreak because of main character, Grace Ashcroft, who is the daughter of Alyssa that we saw in Outbreak and that's what he said about that:

"I would say yes, there are to be some characters from the past series to come in, but don't over-expect or hype it. We can't promise you anything about that, but the only thing I can say is that there will be characters that have been involved in the Raccoon City incident involved in the game"

Producer didn't say directly which characters will return in Resident Evil Requiem but according to recent report Capcom are working on a DLC for Requiem where Alyssa Ashcroft will be the main character. That means she could potentially be in the game before DLC releases. Also, there is a big chance we will see Leon Kennedy back in the game, however, Masato Kumazawa recently told that it's "fake news" regarding possible image of Leon in Resident Evil Requiem. Plus, quite recently Maggie Robertson who played Lady Dimitrescu in Resident Evil Village expressed the desire to play the character once again, but it's pretty unlikely we will see her in Resident Evil Requiem.
