Capcom has officially unveiled Resident Evil 9, now titled Resident Evil Requiem, during this year’s Summer Game Fest 2025. In addition to confirming the game’s long-standing rumors, Capcom surprised fans by announcing a firm release date — Resident Evil Requiem will launch on February 27, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
Resident Evil 9 Officially Revealed as Resident Evil Requiem, Launching February 2026 on PS5, Xbox, and PC
Anticipation had been steadily building ahead of the event, but the reveal exceeded expectations. Capcom not only confirmed that the game exists, but it has also given the world what is widely said to be one of the scariest trailers of the entire franchise. The chilling video suggested the game’s darker tone, but also raised new questions about the story. One of the most shocking reveals in the trailer was the revelation of a new hero called Grace.
Fans who have played through Resident Evil Village have anticipated Rose standing in the spotlight, and Grace’s reveal indicates a different direction for the narrative. Not much is known about her role as yet, but it has been confirmed that Grace will journey back to a deserted hotel where her mother was murdered, presumably setting the stage for what can only be another harrowing survival horror. Additionally, the infamous Raccoon City will somehow factor into the story once again, though exactly how remains unknown.
Although its creepy, brooding, atmospheric trailer was tantalising, Capcom was sparing with actual gameplay details. It is still unclear whether Resident Evil Requiem will be presented in first-person, third-person, or perhaps even a hybrid perspective, as the series has explored both in recent installments. While many questions remain unanswered, fans at least now know what to expect and when.
With the release date set for February 27, 2026, players can mark their calendars and brace themselves for the next terrifying chapter in the Resident Evil saga. Until then, the name Resident Evil Requiem will only deepen the mystery surrounding this highly anticipated title.
