A datamine of Resident Evil Requiem has uncovered several scrapped ideas from its development, including a merchant character and side missions reminiscent of Resident Evil 4.
The findings come from files examined by dataminer umesooooo and shared online by @AestheticGamer1. They include a merchant-type character spotted in a scrapped weapon customisation screen, along with a seizure mechanic for protagonist Leon and mission concepts similar to side quests in the earlier game. Other elements shown in the shared screenshots involve Leon investigating a crime scene for a murder weapon, a map concept displaying both Leon and Grace simultaneously, and Leon originally using the Blood Collector item with temporary ability enhancements, item crafting, and an overdose mechanic.
