Resident Evil Requiem pre-orders will start on October 29th, US time. Plus, we'll be releasing a video celebrating the Resident Evil franchise at the same time (note: no new Resident Evil Requiem gameplay will be shown). Keep an eye out.… pic.twitter.com/M8ssS8PJsS
Recall that the plot of Requiem will center around FSB analyst Grace Ashcroft. She doesn’t have outstanding combat skills or much experience with weapons, but in a dire situation, she is forced to learn quickly, as her life depends on it.
In Requiem, players will be able to freely switch between first-person and third-person views; part of the game’s events will unfold in the ruins of Raccoon City, and the Umbrella Corporation will play a role in the storyline again.
Persistent rumors suggest the return of fan-favorite Leon Kennedy in Resident Evil, but this information has not yet been officially confirmed.
Resident Evil Requiem will be released on February 27, 2026.
