Watch the Resident Evil Requiem – Reveal Trailer:

Raccoon City Returns

A familiar yet deeply haunting setting, Resident Evil Requiem takes players back to Raccoon City, the epicenter of the infamous 1998 outbreak. Once the headquarters of the now-defunct Umbrella Corporation, the city was wiped off the map following a government-sanctioned missile strike designed to contain the disaster. Now, more than two decades later, new horrors lurk in the ruins.

Unprecedented Realism & Emotional Depth

Powered by RE ENGINE, Resident Evil Requiem leverages the full capabilities of modern hardware, delivering hyper-realistic visuals that heighten the terror. From lifelike facial expressions to high-fidelity sweat droplets, the level of detail ensures an immersive and spine-chilling experience.

Characters feel astonishingly real, with gleaming eyes, subtle pores, and the natural shine of hair amplifying their emotions. Subtle tears, flickering gazes, and trembling lips heighten the psychological intensity, making Requiem one of the most emotionally gripping entries in the series.

A New Era of Survival Horror

Set to redefine the genre, Resident Evil Requiem promises to push the boundaries of fear and storytelling. Capcom has confirmed that more details will emerge throughout the year, including the first public playable demo at Gamescom 2025.

With voiceovers and subtitles available in multiple languages—including English, Japanese, French, Italian, German, Russian, Mandarin, and more—Resident Evil™ Requiem ensures a global audience can experience the terror firsthand.

This is just the beginning. As February 2026 draws closer, Capcom teases that even greater horrors lie ahead.
