I would’ve loved to play that game. I really love Requiem as it is, but having many iconic leads at the same time would’ve been amazing.
Many act like this was the reason RE6 had issues. But I’d say none of RE6 issues had anything to do with having many leads. It just had a convoluted story and many parts in gameplay that felt dragged out or unrelated to horror or RE style action.
