Angela Sant'Albano Wants to See More of Grace Ashcroft After Resident Evil Requiem

Resident Evil Requiem, released earlier this year, introduced a new protagonist to the series: Grace Ashcroft. She is the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft, a character from Resident Evil Outbreak who also appears in the game. Speaking of Grace, she has become one of the highlights in the ninth installment, and the actress who played the character hopes this wasn’t her last appearance.

Angela Sant'Albano, the actress who played Grace, mentioned this in a recent interview with GamesRadar. According to her, the character has a certain amount of potential, and she hopes that Capcom will continue to develop the character in future installments, though she notes that Grace is unlikely to become like Leon. You can check out more of Sant'Albano’s comments below:

"I would really love to see how her relationship with Leon blossoms. I think we have a beautiful mentorship, almost brotherly, sisterly relationship brewing. And I also want to know what happens with her and Emily.

I don't think she'll ever be a Leon character. She's never going to be badass, you know, doing roundhouse kicks. But I do think her courage and her self-esteem will grow the more that she trusts herself and forgives herself for a lot of the things that I think tie her down. So I think there's a long way to go with her.”

The 2026 Golden Joystick Awards ceremony took place this week, where Angela Sant'Albano won the award for "Best Lead Performer" for her role as Grace Ashcroft, which only confirms just how well-developed the character turned out to be. Resident Evil Requiem also won awards in the categories of “Best Game Trailer,” “Console Game of the Year,” and “Ultimate Game of the Year.”

Capcom is also working on a story DLC for Resident Evil Requiem, but official details and a release date remain unknown. Interestingly, the studio previously stated that the plot laid out in the ninth installment would be gradually revealed over the next 10 years. So, given the importance of the character, there will most likely be a place for Grace in it.
