Survival horror fans have been treated to a new look at Resident Evil Requiem during Gamescom 2025. The survival horror sequel, which made its debut during E3 earlier this year, will take fans of the franchise back to Raccoon City with a new lead protagonist at the helm.
A release for the upcoming title has been confirmed for February 27th, 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Check out Capcom’s latest gameplay video.
The ninth mainline Resident Evil game casts players as Grace Ashcroft who – as RE law dictates – finds herself embroiled in an apocalyptic scenario that has players running a gauntlet of jump scares as they peel back layers of a grander conspiracy.
Much like Resident Evil 7, and Village, Requiem will feature first person gameplay and visuals powered by Capcom’s silky smooth RE Engine. Instead of being chased by the shambling undead, the Gamescom footage shows Grace and her mother escape the clutches of someone who appears to be a deranged serial killer. It’s definitely a change of direction for Resi though one that will no doubt loop back to the familiar tropes this series is known for, with fan favourite characters likely to make an appearance at some point.
While it hasn’t been confirmed, we’re also likely to see a demo. Both RE7 and Village gave fans a tantalising slither of gameplay to keep them sated, so let’s hope Requiem follows this trend.
