Resident Evil Requiem Brings Dual Perspective Gameplay

Resident Evil Requiem, officially unveiled at Summer Game Fest 2025, is the ninth mainline entry in Capcom's survival horror franchise and releases February 27, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Players control Grace Ashcroft, a timid FBI agent and daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft from Resident Evil Outbreak, who awakens suspended in a decrepit medical facility in Raccoon City. The game prioritizes fear, puzzle-solving, and evasion over action, with Grace facing terrifying creatures and relying on makeshift tools and stealth. For the first time in franchise history, players can seamlessly switch between first- and third-person perspectives at any time. Early impressions highlight an intense, atmospheric experience, with classic items and environments, and the return of stalking enemies reminiscent of Mr. X and Lady Dimitrescu. Capcom aims to recapture the franchise's classic horror roots with this entry.
