Resident Evil: Requiem Xbox Playstation Nintendo PC Gaming

The impending announcement of Resident Evil 9 has been sort of hovering around for what felt like months. Insiders have been claiming for a while that we were about to see it at this or that show, but it somehow never materialised - and it looks like today's the day that's finally changed.

During the Summer Game Fest kick-off showcase, Capcom delivered a brief message about the upcoming sequel in the legendary horror series. In a short video, Jun Takeuchi thanked fans for their support of the Resident Evil series and stated that there'll be more news soon, when the developer is ready. This led most to believe that we wouldn't be seeing Resident Evil 9, but as the show closed, everyone was surprised.

A horrifying brief trailer, Resident Evil 9 is being dubbed Resident Evil Requiem, and looks to be inviting players into a much scarier experience, akin to Resident Evil Biohazard - this time around. The better news? It'll be playable as of February 27, 2026.

Looks interesting, and also looks like it might actually be scary, which is cool.

Capcom has revealed that Resident Evil Requiem will offer both first and third-person perspectives. This marks a first for the series and allows players to switch between the two viewpoints seamlessly. However, there are some concerns regarding how well this feature will be implemented, particularly in light of mixed responses to the third-person mode in Resident Evil Village.

According to leaker Aesthetic Gamer, also known as Dusk Golem, Requiem decided on incorporating both perspectives early in its development phase. They noted that the game is ambitious, aiming to set new standards for the series. Each perspective will feature unique animations and mechanics, enhancing the gameplay experience based on the player's choice of viewpoint.

Interestingly, there are hints about a potential demo before the game's release, allowing players to get a taste of this dual perspective feature. Although Capcom has confirmed the game's presence at Gamescom in August, history suggests that demos for major titles like this are likely.

At Gamescom 2025, NVIDIA showcased the first gameplay footage of Resident Evil Requiem, which is notable for being the first title utilising the RE Engine's Path Tracing technology. This single-player survival horror game puts players in the shoes of Grace Ashcroft, who must navigate a terrifying world while confronting her fears.

The gameplay demos, provided by Jackfrags and DigitalFoundry, reveal a visually stunning environment enhanced by this new graphical technology, emphasising the game's commitment to immersive storytelling and character development. Set 30 years after the infamous missile strike on Raccoon City, the narrative aims to explore the lingering effects of the Umbrella Corporation's actions, returning players to the heart of the series' lore.
