Capcom has unveiled the first gameplay footage of Resident Evil Requiem during its latest Spotlight developer deep dive. The video showcases gameplay from both first- and third-person perspectives, which players can switch between freely.
The footage follows new protagonist Grace Ashcroft as she explores dimly lit hallways and a spacious entrance area, holding a lighter to navigate the darkness.
The game is set 30 years after the destruction of Raccoon City. Developers mentioned Leon, explaining he was not chosen as the main character because his past experiences would make the game’s scares less effective for him.
Resident Evil Requiem is scheduled for release on PS5 on February 27, 2026. It is confirmed to be playable at Gamescom 2025, likely offering the next hands-on preview.
