Resident Evil Requiem Focuses on Addictive Fear, Set 30 Years After Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil Requiem, revealed in the latest Capcom Spotlight, explores the theme of 'Addictive Fear' and introduces a new protagonist, Grace Ashcroft. The game is set three decades after the events of Resident Evil 2, following the missile strike on Raccoon City. With enhanced visuals and innovative gameplay mechanics, the team aims to deliver a thrilling experience for players. Resident Evil Requiem is scheduled to launch on February 27th, 2026, for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.
Resident Evil Requiem was revealed during the latest Capcom Spotlight, shedding light on the core concepts and protagonist. The story is set 30 years after the missile strike on Raccoon City in Resident Evil 2.
Director Koshi Nakanishi emphasizes the theme of 'Addictive fear,' where overcoming fear leads to a craving to play more. Grace Ashcroft, a new character, is easily frightened but possesses deductive reasoning and firearms training due to her FBI background.
The team initially considered making Leon S. Kennedy the protagonist but found it challenging for a horror game and not a good fit. His absence is not confirmed, leaving room for speculation.
Noteworthy features include advanced visuals such as Grace's face turning red when hanging upside down and realistic hair physics modeled after a real-life wig. Requiem is anticipated as a tribute to past characters in the series.
Resident Evil Requiem is set to release on February 27th, 2026, for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. It will be playable at Gamescom in August and has already amassed over one million wishlists.
