• Resident Evil Requiem producer Masato Kumazawa says newcomers to the series and long-time fans will enjoy the game
• Kumazawa says newcomers can play the game as any horror game and “enjoy it 100%”, while those looking for lore connections will “enjoy it 150%”
• He adds, “I don’t want people to feel they have to do their homework to fully appreciate this game”

Resident Evil Requiem producer Masato Kumazawa has said newcomers will be able to enjoy the game without having any prior knowledge of the series, but hints there will be some fun stuff to uncover for the lore lovers.

In a new interview with VGC, alongside director Koshi Nakanishi, Kumazawa discussed making a game that is both accessible to players who have never touched a Resident Evil game before and long-time fans.
