With a brand-new protagonist, a return to Raccoon City, and gameplay that lets you pick your own perspective, this is shaping up to be one of the most exciting Resident Evil titles in years.
When is Resident Evil Requiem Coming Out?
Resident Evil Requiem is officially set to release on February 27, 2026, just in time for the franchise’s 30th anniversary in March.
The game will be available on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, so no matter your platform of choice, you’ll be able to dive back into the horrors Capcom has cooked up.
What’s the Story This Time?
This sequel introduces us to Grace Ashcroft, an FBI intelligence analyst investigating the mysterious death of her mother. Her search for answers pulls her back to none other than Raccoon City, the iconic setting that longtime fans know all too well.
Expect conspiracies, a heavy dose of Umbrella’s sinister legacy, and plenty of chilling encounters as Grace digs deeper into the truth.

Gameplay: Classic Horror with a Twist
Resident Evil Requiem promises the series’ signature blend of survival horror, resource management, puzzles, and heart-pounding combat. But here’s the kicker, you can freely switch between third-person and first-person view.
