The iconic survival horror series is back. Capcom has officially announced Resident Evil Requiem, the ninth main installment in the legendary Resident Evil franchise. Set to release on February 27, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and Windows, this new entry promises a terrifying experience that will haunt players for years to come.
A New Chapter of Fear
Resident Evil Requiem introduces a brand-new protagonist, Grace Ashcroft, an FBI analyst thrown into the post-nuclear nightmare of Raccoon City. She’s not alone, though. Fan-favorite Leon S. Kennedy returns as a federal agent, teaming up with Grace to navigate the city’s treacherous remains.
The game will feature a unique dual-protagonist system. Grace’s missions will focus on pure survival horror, forcing you to use your wits and stealth to evade a relentless new monster. In contrast, Leon’s sections will be more action-packed, equipping you with the firepower to take the fight to the infected hordes.
30 Years of Horror
Requiem isn’t just another sequel; it’s a celebration of the series’ 30th anniversary. The game returns to the overarching narrative of the Raccoon City incident and the sinister dealings of the Umbrella Corporation, promising to tie up loose ends and provide new insights into the series’ lore.
Powered by the cutting-edge RE ENGINE, Resident Evil Requiem aims to deliver a new level of realism and immersion. Expect photorealistic graphics that bring the horrors of Raccoon City to life like never before, coupled with a sound design that will send shivers down your spine.
