Capcom has officially announced Resident Evil Requiem, the next major entry in the Resident Evil series, coming to PS5, Xbox Series, and PC in 2026. Here's everything we know so far about the game, the tech behind it, and what fans can expect.
Capcom has officially pulled back the curtain on Resident Evil Requiem, the ninth major installment in the iconic survival horror franchise. Scheduled for release on February 27, 2026, the game will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. While that may feel like a long wait for fans, there's something big to look forward to in the meantime, a first playable demo will debut at Gamescom 2025, which takes place from August 20 to 24 in Cologne, Germany.
Resident Evil Requiem promises a return to the franchise’s dark roots, set once again in the infamous Raccoon City, the birthplace of the deadly biological outbreak that changed everything. This setting is not only iconic but also deeply emotional for longtime fans, and Capcom seems to be using it as a narrative anchor to blend psychological horror with fast-paced, tense action gameplay.
Built using RE ENGINE, Capcom’s cutting-edge in-house technology, the game takes full advantage of modern hardware. Players can expect a visually stunning experience with incredible attention to detail, including lifelike facial animations, natural skin textures, and even realistic sweat effects that heighten the feeling of constant dread and urgency. These advancements aren’t just about graphics—they help pull players deeper into the terrifying world of Requiem, making the horror feel more real than ever before.
The development team, known for their experience in crafting deeply immersive horror games, is pushing both narrative and gameplay boundaries. According to Capcom, Resident Evil Requiem is more immersive than any previous title in the series. This suggests not only a greater emotional connection to the characters but also new gameplay mechanics that could heighten player interaction and fear.
In terms of accessibility, Requiem will support voiceovers and subtitles in a wide range of languages, including English, Japanese, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, and more. Subtitles will also be available in languages like Korean, Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Arabic, and Polish, making the experience accessible to players around the world.
While Capcom is keeping many details under wraps for now, it’s clear that this is just the beginning. More content and reveals will be coming throughout the year, and with a public demo set for Gamescom 2025, fans won’t have to wait until the launch to get a taste of what’s coming.
As the series steps boldly into a new generation, the question remains: Will you survive the horrors waiting in Resident Evil Requiem?
