Completing the main campaign of Resident Evil Requiem opens a new layer of customization for its protagonists, Grace and Leon. Beyond the core gameplay, finishing the game on any difficulty grants access to additional outfits that can be toggled before starting a new playthrough or loading a saved file. These options are not just cosmetic; they offer players a way to revisit familiar characters with fresh visual perspectives, particularly useful for those tackling higher difficulties or hunting for hidden collectibles like Mr. Raccoon memoriam.
The unlockable jackets for both Grace and Leon appear immediately after the first playthrough, accessible through the Bonuses - Bonus Settings menu. Grace can switch between her default attire and a jacket variant, while Leon has a similar toggle for his own look. These changes are permanent once selected and apply to all subsequent gameplay sessions.
Beyond the jackets, two additional costumes become available after clearing the game: the FBI Attire for Grace and the Classic R.P.D. Uniform for Leon. Both outfits are tied to their in-game significance—the FBI attire mirrors Grace’s appearance during the game’s opening cinematics, while the R.P.D. uniform represents Leon’s signature police gear. These costumes require 500 CP each to unlock, a currency earned by completing specific challenges within the game.
Players typically accumulate over 1000 CP by the end of their first playthrough, regardless of the difficulty chosen, making it feasible to purchase both additional outfits immediately if desired. This system incentivizes replayability, encouraging players to explore challenges and higher difficulties to fully customize their experience.
The game’s structure ensures that these unlocks are not just about appearance but also about progression. Whether revisiting the campaign on Insanity difficulty or seeking hidden collectibles, the additional costumes add depth to the experience without altering gameplay mechanics. This approach balances visual customization with meaningful challenges, appealing to players who value both aesthetics and replayability.
