Resident Evil Requiem, an upcoming video game from Capcom, was unveiled at Summer Game Fest on June 6, 2025, with a release date set for February 27, 2026, on PlayStation 5, Xbox, and PC.
The game introduces FBI agent Grace Ashcroft as the new protagonist, tasked with investigating mysterious and gruesome deaths in a decayed, post-apocalyptic Raccoon City, a beloved setting from the franchise, including the ruined remnants of the Raccoon City Police Department (RPD). Blending survival horror with high-stakes cinematic action, it marks a bold new direction for the Resident Evil series, coinciding with the franchise’s 30th anniversary in 2026. The game promises a spooky, X-Files-like atmosphere, featuring zombies, a creepy villain, and intense horror elements, all enhanced by stunning graphics. While the trailer and PlayStation blog emphasize psychological horror and cinematic action, no classic characters like Leon S. Kennedy have been mentioned, hinting at a fresh narrative focus. As of June 10, 2025, details on gameplay mechanics, story depth, or additional characters remain scarce, so fans should follow Capcom’s announcements or the PlayStation blog for updates.
