Resident Evil 9 Requiem Confirmed To be Playable In Both First and Third Person

Expert Verified By

Capcom Combining Best of Both Worlds In RE9!

Story Highlight
  • Resident Evil 9 Requiem is set to utilize both first and third-person camera perspectives.
  • This approach is a first for the IP and likely drove the budget higher.
  • Capcom still recommends using first-person for the best gameplay experience.

Resident Evil 9 Requiem was just announced last week, and Capcom has already returned with additional marketing material. The latest entry in this long-running series introduces Grace Ashcroft, returning to the survival horror gameplay fans loved in Resident Evil 7.

Also returning from Resident Evil 7 is the first-person gameplay, but Capcom has offered a unique twist this time.

Why it matters: Ahead of this reveal, it was heavily debated whether Capcom would opt for first or third-person gameplay for Resident Evil 9 Requiem.

Media previews of the title confirm that Resident Evil 9 Requiem is the first game in the series to support both camera perspectives. In fact, it offers a simple toggle for players to swap between first and third-person, allowing for immense freedom in gameplay.

According to Capcom, first-person gameplay is recommended for the best experience. This is particularly interesting because the decision likely led to additional development time for Capcom, given the need for different animations for the two perspectives.

In the past, the studio typically stuck to one or the other, but Resident Evil 9 Requiem is said to be the most ambitious entry in the series. Therefore, it will be interesting to see how this choice impacts moment-to-moment gameplay.

Perhaps the first-person gameplay will be best suited to the more tense moments of the game, with third-person being the best option for more hectic combat scenarios. Whatever the case, Capcom is certainly pulling out all the stops.
