The wait for Resident Evil fans has finally come to an end. Capcom has officially unveiled the next entry in the iconic survival horror franchise: Resident Evil Requiem. This marks the ninth installment in the series and was revealed during Summer Game Fest 2025.
Resident Evil: Requiem promises to seamlessly blend psychological horror with intense action, pushing the limits of survival gameplay with cutting-edge visuals and emotionally gripping storytelling designed to send shivers down your spine. If you’re eager to learn everything about the game so far, we’ve got you covered.
1. When will Resident Evil: Requiem be released?
Resident Evil Requiem is set to be released on February 27, 2026, and will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
The news came as part of the official game reveal at Summer Game Fest 2025. There’s no sign of pre-orders yet; however, we will update if anything becomes available.
2. Resident Evil: Requiem Trailer
The first trailer introduces a new character in the Resident Evil universe: FBI technical analyst Grace Ashcroft. Her investigation into a series of grisly and mysterious deaths linked to the remnants of Raccoon City draws her into a dark and treacherous world.
A series of flashback images unfold as Grace battles to regain her composure, intermingled with scenes of the ruined Raccoon City in the aftermath of Resident Evil 2 and 3. Suddenly, she finds herself strapped to a gurney, crying out for help.
3. Where does Resident Evil: Requiem take place?
Resident Evil Requiem takes place in the heart of the series: the Raccoon City disaster. The protagonist, Grace Ashcroft, is the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft, an investigative journalist who managed to escape the nuclear devastation of Raccoon City. Tragically, Alyssa was murdered at the Remwood Hotel.
Grace is an intriguing new lead for this mission, especially since she’s never appeared in a Resident Evil game before. As the story unfolds, it appears that Grace will need to confront her dark past and face personal demons, though we still await details on what the gameplay will entail.
While the narrative is still largely under wraps, it’s clear that Grace has a lot of emotional baggage to work through. With Capcom’s commitment to technological innovation, we can expect “a narrative rich in character development and gameplay that promises to be more immersive than ever.“
