Resident Evil 9

A standard playthrough of Resident Evil 9 Requiem takes approximately 12-15 hours for the main story. Completing all collectibles, side objectives, and achieving the Platinum trophy can extend playtime to 25-30 hours. Speedruns with optimal weapon and charm combinations can complete the game in under 4 hours.

Resident Evil 9 Requiem features over 200 collectibles including 25 Mr. Raccoon puppets, 21 Antique Coins, numerous files and documents, weapon upgrades, safe box items, and special charms. All collectibles are required for 100% completion and the Platinum trophy.

The most efficient speedrun setup uses the Ambition Charm for pseudo-infinite ammo, Sharpshooter A placement for critical damage, the Requiem gun for boss encounters, and the Overseer's Scope accessory. This combination allows for fast enemy elimination while conserving resources during high-difficulty runs.

Yes, you can miss collectibles on your first playthrough. Resident Evil 9 Requiem allows you to replay chapters to collect missed items. However, some collectibles like Mr. Raccoon puppets and Antique Coins are chapter-specific, so you'll need to replay those chapters if you miss them. Use our comprehensive collectibles guide to avoid missing any items.

Standard difficulty is recommended for first-time players, offering a balanced challenge with manageable resource scarcity and enemy difficulty. Insanity difficulty significantly increases enemy health, changes puzzle solutions, and reduces resources — it's best attempted after completing the game once. Casual difficulty is available for players who want to focus on the story.
