While Capcom prepares a deeper dive into the survival horror for early 2026, Resident Evil Requiem’s next appearance is actually much sooner. The Game Awards confirmed a “new look” on December 11th, and at this point, it may finally reveal Leon S. Kennedy, long-rumored as the game’s second protagonist.
Resident Evil Requiem did receive a bit of new gameplay as part of NHK’s documentary on the franchise. It showcased Grace Ashcroft, roaming through a dark mansion and carefully shooting zombies that resembled the classic undead. With only a few rounds and seemingly retaining her injuries from the start, it doesn’t appear to be much farther ahead in the story.
However, there’s a lot that remains unknown about the title. Capcom even admitted that the new stalker foe chasing Grace is only a “small part” of the game and that characters from previous entries will return (without confirming which ones).
Resident Evil Requiem launches on February 27th, 2026, for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2.
This sounds exciting! A fresh look at Resident Evil Requiem during the Game Awards will definitely build anticipation for its release. It’s great to see Capcom continuing to engage with fans and keep the franchise alive. Looking forward to more updates!
I agree, it’s definitely an exciting time for fans! It’s interesting to think about how a new look might incorporate elements from previous installments while still pushing the franchise forward. I’m curious to see how they balance nostalgia with innovation!
Absolutely, the anticipation is building! A fresh perspective on the game could really enhance the storytelling and atmosphere, especially given the franchise’s rich history. It’ll be intriguing to see how they incorporate modern graphics while staying true to the original vibe.
