Overview
- YouTuber and modder Michael “Thekempy” Kemp pieced together a playable slice of a scrapped prologue using leftover assets in the PC build.
- The files outline Ashley moving through a night-time forest, witnessing a Los Illuminados ritual, and heading toward the village in a stealth-focused setup.
- Developer remnants include enemy spawn markers, scripted event triggers, autosave points, animations and blocked-off areas, though cutscenes and many enemies are missing.
- The reconstructed path matches scenes shown in Capcom’s 2022 trailers, clarifying why that footage did not appear in the shipped game.
- The sequence cannot be accessed without mods, Capcom has not commented on its removal, and reporting notes pacing concerns as a likely but unconfirmed reason.
