Resident Evil Requiem It first appeared during Summer Games Festival In June, developer Capcom slowly released details about the upcoming horror game. What’s clear from previously released screenshots and impressions is that Capcom really wants to terrorize players – and will go so far as to put players in Grace’s shoes without weapons.
Resident Evil Requiem will be released on February 27, 2026 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series consoles.
Resident Evil Requiem takes place 30 years after the events of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, which occurred when Raccoon City was destroyed.
After showing the trailer, Game Awards host Geoff Keighley said that Leon would bring “action-packed gameplay” and that the game would offer two different experiences. This could mean that a large portion of the game will be played as Grace, who will provide more of a survival horror experience with fewer weapons and gadgets, while part of the game will focus on Leon and his more chainsaw- and face-kicking gameplay.

Grace Ashcroft is an FBI analyst with a connection to Raccoon City. Her mother, Alyssa, was a survivor of the destruction of Raccoon City and was a playable character in the online game Resident Evil Outbreak, which was released on PS2 in 2003. The elder Ashcroft was a reporter telling the story of what happened to the zombie-infested city, but was killed by a masked assailant in 2018.
Her murder prompted Grace to join the FBI. In Requiem, a mysterious infection is spreading, and deaths are increasing. Grace is assigned to investigate the Renwood Hotel, the place where the last death occurred, which was the site of her mother’s murder. From here she will make her way to Raccoon City.
Leon was last seen in the series with Resident Evil 6, but has been active in the Resident Evil animated films and series, including Resident Evil: Degeneration, Resident Evil: Damnation, Resident Evil: Vendetta, Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness and Resident Evil: Death Island. Leon is currently an agent for the Security Operations Division and is deployed around the world to investigate cases of bioweapons causing chaos, which often leads to a reunion with other Resident Evil survivors, such as Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, and Rebecca Chambers.
The GameStop listing for Resident Evil Requiem has listed the game’s expansion card and additional scenarios, according to a report from Video game records Tuesday. One scenario referenced the Shadow Walker costume pack, which includes costumes for Rosemary Winters, the daughter of Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil Village hero Ethan Winters. Rosemary was the main character of Shadows of Rose, a post-release content scenario for Resident Evil Village.
Additional characters may be revealed in the coming days as Resident Evil Requiem’s release date approaches.
