Resident Evil Requiem Fan Shows Off Alyssa Ashcroft Cosplay

Alyssa Ashcroft from Resident Evil Requiem has been brought to life through a cosplay that perfectly captures the character’s look and presence. Alyssa Ashcroft, a fearless journalist for The Raccoon Press, was first introduced in Resident Evil Outbreak on the PlayStation 2. After two decades, she returns to the franchise in Resident Evil Requiem as the mother of Grace Ashcroft, the series’ newest protagonist.

Many fans who are familiar with the character have rejoiced over Alyssa Ashcroft’s return to another game in the Resident Evil franchise. However, that excitement quickly turned to disappointment for some when the Resident Evil Requiem trailer at the 2025 Summer Games Fest revealed that she had been murdered by a mysterious figure. Even after this sad news, fans have been quick to show Alyssa Ashcroft some love in their own way on various social media platforms.
