Titel: "It's Offical: Resident Evil Requiem Sets Release Date in February 2026" (Paraphrased)
(Kickstart your 2026 gaming schedule with the scariest Resident Evil yet!) \n \nRESIDENT EVIL REQUIEM is officially on its way! Set to drop on February 27, 2026, for PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC, this exciting ninth installment promises to send shivers down your spine.
The major announcement was made at the Summer Game Fest 2025, closing the event with a bone-chilling cinematic trailer that revealed the game's protagonist, FBI technical analyst Grace Ashcroft, and a post-apocalyptic Racoon City.
Capcom bills this as "the dawn of a new era of survival horror." Geoff Keighly, host of the event, described it as a "dramatic shift" for the series, with players expecting "high-stakes cinematic action."
The tagline is simple yet terrifying: "Requiem for the dead. Nightmare for the living. RESIDENT EVIL REQUIEM is the ninth title in the mainline Resident Evil series." Predictably, it's all about escaping death in an experience that will make your skin crawl.
Here's the tantalizing spiel: "Witness technology's evolution meeting a seasoned development team in a story that will leave you gripped. Be ready for a striking narrative, empathetic characters, and gameplay that's never been more immersive."
Interestingly, Jun Takeuchi, the executive producer of Resident Evil, made a surprise appearance earlier in the broadcast to tease the game, but claimed Capcom wasn't quite ready to reveal it.
From the trailer, it looks like RESIDENT EVIL REQUIEM will follow Grace as she hunts a serial killer with ties to her deceased mother.
The big surprise? Grace Ashcroft seems to be the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft from Resident Evil Outbreak and Outbreak File #2. Whether past characters like Leon and Jill will make an appearance remains to be seen.
