The recent launch of Requiem on Steam is remarkably successful. It reached a peak of 168,191 concurrent players, surpassing even Resident Evil 4 Remake (which peaked at 168,191) and ranking third behind Resident Evil Village (106,631). Given that Resident Evil 4 Remake was a remake of a classic and Resident Evil Village was the most recent major installment in that series, Requiem’s performance is a huge achievement. As for all games published by this company on Steam, Requiem currently ranks fifth, trailing only Monster Hunter World, and this is before the full weekend player count is tallied.

Specifically, Spock’s line, “Any show of resistance would be futile,” is seen as a precursor to the Borg’s famous phrase, “Resistance is futile.” This has led fans to believe the Borg might have been created by, or come from, the same advanced machine civilization responsible for V’Ger (originally Voyager 6). Although this connection isn’t officially confirmed in Star Trek canon, it was embraced by William Shatner, a star of the original series, so much that he included it in one of his Star Trek novels.

The new game Resident Evil Requiem is the first to utilize a technology that Sony says maintains a smooth frame rate and high image quality. According to Masaru Ijuin, a Senior Manager at Capcom, this technology will make details like light reflecting off hair look even sharper than on a standard PlayStation 5.
