Angela Sant’Albano Leads Resident Evil: Requiem as Grace Ashcroft Ahead of Feb. 27 Launch

Capcom positions the ninth mainline entry as a dual‑perspective experience that ties a new FBI protagonist to the series’ legacy.

Overview

  • Deadline confirmed Sant’Albano as the voice and motion‑capture performer for Grace Ashcroft, with the actor acknowledging the role on Instagram after the report.
  • Resident Evil: Requiem is set for February 27 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Windows PC and Nintendo Switch 2.
  • Nick Apostolides returns as the voice of Leon S. Kennedy, continuing his portrayal from the Resident Evil 2 and 4 remakes and Netflix’s Infinite Darkness.
  • Capcom says gameplay is split evenly between Grace’s stealth‑ and puzzle‑focused segments and Leon’s action‑driven stages, and director Kōshi Nakanishi calls the game the series’ “most extreme” after reworking an earlier open‑world, multiplayer concept.
  • The story unfolds roughly 30 years after Raccoon City and introduces Grace as Alyssa Ashcroft’s daughter, as the $11 billion franchise presses forward alongside a film reboot in development with director Zach Cregger.
