Resident Evil Requiem star Grace Ashcroft is reportedly stepping in to replace Jennifer English as the lead voice for the lavish Chinese action game Tides of Annihilation. English withdrew from the project in June due to personal health issues but reportedly remained supportive, helping to find new talent for the role. Ashcroft, known for her performance as Grace Ashcroft in Resident Evil Requiem, was seen in a recent gameplay demo displayed in Shanghai, sporting a different look and voice for the game's protagonist, Gwendolyn.
Gwendolyn's motion-capture performer, Jennifer Prime, confirmed the speculation on X, stating, "Yep!!! But this time, no more screaming LEON!!!!" Prime has been retweeted in support of the claim. The developer, Eclipse Glow Games, has not yet confirmed the news. Tides of Annihilation, inspired by Inception and The Matrix, is set in modern-day London and features Bayonetta-like combat. The game, available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X, will debut at Gamescom next week.
