Resident Evil has introduced many new main characters in recent games, such as Ethan Winters and Rose Winters, and Grace became an instant favorite among several fans due to her story and believable reactions to the terrifying situation she finds herself in. It has gotten to the point where comparisons between Grace and Leon's Resident Evil Requiem games have been discussed within the fanbase, and both have received much praise and criticism for their respective episodes. Still, the love for Grace is evident with the amount of fan content coming out, including an impressive cosplay by Reddit user LadyOichi. In one post, she shared photos of herself donning a short blonde wig and wearing Grace's dirty white shirt with a bloody bandage wrapped around her chest.

Among praises for Grace's character design, many Resident Evil Requiem players online have also shared their misgivings about her personality and the stark difference between playing as her and as Leon. Meanwhile, many fans have defended Grace's presentation in Resident Evil Requiemand pointed out that she is not as experienced as Leon or any of the seasoned fighters from previous matches, but still managed to stay in the story. While it's still far too early to tell if Grace will return in future games, it would be interesting to see how she will develop after a few years if she decides to leave her analyst job. It would be just like watching Leon grow in each Resident Evil the game he is in, where he started as a new cop Resident Evil 2 to a secret agent of the US government i Resident Evil 4.

It has been over 30 years since the first one Resident Evil came out, but the success of Resident Evil Requiem is further proof of how invested fans still are in the franchise, even with the flaws of some titles. Likewise, it is possible that Capcom will release Resident Evil Requiem DLC further down the line, so maybe players can play as Grace and Leon once more, or maybe other characters like Chris Redfield or someone from Resident Evil outbreakafter finishing the main story.
