🧟 Resident Evil Requiem is Coming Next Year

After a very convincing tease that suggested news was in fact not incoming, Capcom just officially announced Resident Evil Requiem, the ninth mainline entry in the franchise. It launches on February 27th, 2026 on PC, PS5, and Xbox.

The announcement came via a lengthy trailer that took quite a while before revealing itself to indeed be the next Resident Evil, focused instead on an office space. But then, naturally, things got pretty creepy. Capcom says the new game will indeed be survival horror, but didn’t provide much other info, explaining only that players will “escape death in a heart-stopping experience that will chill you to your core.”

The game is a follow-up to Resident Evil Village in 2021, which followed a reinvigorating return to survival horror in the seventh entry. At the same time, Capcom has kept the franchise alive through a series of big-budget remakes of older titles, most recently with Resident Evil 4 in 2023.

🎮 What is Resident Evil Requiem?

While details are still under wraps, early teasers suggest that Requiem will be:

🏚️ A return to the franchise’s atmospheric roots, blending tense exploration with visceral combat.

🎭 Focused on new protagonists caught in a terrifying bioweapon outbreak that ties into the lore of the Umbrella Corporation.

🧪 Built in RE Engine 2.0, Capcom’s next-generation tech that promises even more lifelike horror and dread-soaked environments.

🧩 A New Setting, Classic Fear

Capcom says Requiem will take players to a remote European town that’s been twisted by a mysterious new virus—echoing the Gothic horror vibes of Resident Evil Village, but with fresh gameplay systems and modern twists.

“We want to push the series forward while honoring what makes Resident Evil so beloved,” said director Daisuke Inoue.

📅 Release Window

📅 Resident Evil Requiem is set for a global launch in 2026.
