Resident Evil 2 had Mr. X crashing through walls, Resident Evil 7 had pretty much the same thing but with Jack Baker, and Resident Evil Requiem apparently has enemies that can throw unexpected objects at you, taking jump scares to a whole new level.
I've given a lot of attention to Resident Evil 9's new protagonist, Grace Ashcroft, and why it's her instead of Leon Kennedy that the series needs in this moment, but I haven't thought quite as much about the game's bad guys and how they also might shake things up. And shake things up they will, as a new clip shows Grace getting rocked by what appears to be a hospital tray table.

In the brief clip shared by Synth Potato, which is likely taken from the same preview build we tinkered with for our Resident Evil Requiem hands-on preview, poor, unsuspecting Grace is seen tip-toeing her way through a dark corridor before a full-size piece of furniture comes hurling her way, knocking her back, and sending her reeling in dramatic fashion.
What's interesting, and a little terrifying, to me is that this appears to be just a normal gameplay sequence, not a pre-scripted cutscene. It's possible it's a pre-scripted gameplay event that only happens when certain triggers are activated, but still, my blood pressure is going to be so damn high playing this game.
