Resident Evil Requiem: Record-Breaking Speedruns on Hardcore Difficulty
Players are actively mastering Resident Evil Requiem, discovering optimal routes and strategies for rapid completion. Speedrunners are already demonstrating impressive results, finishing the game in just a few hours.
Achievements on the hardcore "Insanity" difficulty are particularly noteworthy. On this setting, enemies are significantly stronger, and the risk of death increases. Nevertheless, speedrunning enthusiasts are successfully overcoming this challenge.
Several players have already set significant records. For instance, speedrunner Distortion2 completed the game in 1 hour, 58 minutes, and 53 seconds. Another player, spicee, showcased an even more remarkable performance, finishing Resident Evil Requiem in just 1 hour, 34 minutes, and 42 seconds. It's important to note that these records were achieved using an allowed mod that skips the game's introduction.
In the category of full Resident Evil Requiem playthroughs on "Insanity" difficulty, without using intro-skip mods, the current record holder is Bdud5, with a time of 2 hours, 8 minutes, and 13 seconds.
