The Waiting Game: Capcom Reveals Resident Evil Requiem’s Release Date and Trailer
The wait is finally over for fans of the Resident Evil series. After months of speculation, rumors, and leaks, Capcom has officially revealed the title and release date of what promises to be one of the most anticipated games in the franchise: Resident Evil 9, now titled Resident Evil Requiem. Set to launch on February 27, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, fans can finally look forward to a new chapter in the terrifying saga.
The revelation was met with excitement at Summer Game Fest 2025, where a chilling trailer revealed more about the game’s story and setting than fans could have ever imagined. The trailer introduces us to Grace, a protagonist who embarks on a perilous journey back to the infamous hotel where her mother met a gruesome end. This plot twist has left many fans questioning whether this will be a first-person or third-person game, but one thing is certain: Raccoon City’s dark history is once again woven into the narrative.
The question on everyone’s mind now is what this title change means for the series’ lore and storyline. With Resident Evil Requiem taking the reins, can we expect a new direction for the franchise? Will the events of previous games be re-examined or reimagined in some way? The lack of concrete gameplay details raises more questions than answers, leaving fans eagerly anticipating February 27, 2026, to uncover the truth.
The release date is just around the corner, but one thing is clear: Resident Evil Requiem promises to deliver a terrifying experience unlike any other in the series. As we count down the days until its release, we’re left with only one question: are you ready to face your fears?
