by During the Summer Game Fest 2025 show, hosted by Geoff Keighley, the Resident Evil 9, also known as Resident Evil Requiem, trailer was unveiled as the final big reveal of the event. Ever since the trailer debuted, Resident Evil fans have had one question in mind: Who is Grace Ashcroft from Resident Evil 9? We will answer everything about this query further in this article.
Resident Evil Requiem is the ninth entry in Capcom’s beloved Resident Evil franchise, and Grace Ashcroft is set to play a crucial role in this new multiplatform action-horror game. If you think Grace has no connections to past entries in the series, you are mistaken.
Grace Ashcroft, the female character revealed in the Resident Evil 9 trailer, is the biological daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft. If you’re wondering who Alyssa is, let us remind you that she is one of the survivors from the online-only title Resident Evil Outbreak, released on the PS2. Alyssa was a journalist trapped in Raccoon City during the events of Resident Evil 2, and she, along with other survivors, had to escape the city before its destruction.
Based on the Resident Evil 9 trailer, Grace will visit the Remwood Hotel, where her mother, Alyssa, was murdered. To find out what happens next, you’ll need to play the game.
Resident Evil 9 is scheduled for release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on February 27, 2026. Other beloved characters, such as Leon S. Kennedy, Chris Redfield, and Jill Valentine, are also confirmed to appear in the game in some capacity.
