Leon Kennedy is the best advertisement for Resident Evil Requiem: over 4 million gamers added the horror game to their wishlist

The horror game Resident Evil Requiem is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated games of 2026 — helped by its enormous fan base as well as the impressive technical execution of the game, which becomes more stunning with every trailer.

Developers from Capcom updated the information on public interest in Requiem, and not every studio can boast such figures.

What is known

The Japanese publisher reported that over 4 million gamers on all platforms have added the ninth numbered entry of Resident Evil to their wishlist, essentially confirming their intention to buy it.

It is notable that at the end of November, this figure was 3 million people, and it is not hard to guess that the significant growth was largely associated with the showing of the December trailer of Resident Evil Requiem at TGA 2025, which officially introduced the second main character — everyone's favorite Leon Kennedy.

Gameplay for him will be more dynamic and action-packed, while the episodes for FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft (Grace Ashcroft) are styled in classic survival horror and are expected to scare players more.

When to expect

The release of Resident Evil Requiem is set for February 27, 2026, on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch 2.
