Get ready to hunt down some monsters!

The gaming year 2026 has just started and Capcom is looking forward to dominating this year with some amazing titles. Resident Evil Requiem is at the top of the list, which is set to release on February 27, 2026.

This game has already surpassed 4 million wishlist across platforms and now we are just less than two months away from playing as Leon Kennedy and newbie Grace Ashcroft. Let’s check out more details in this article.

What makes Resident Evil Requiem a must-play?

Requiem is the 9th part of the famous Resident Evil franchise. This time, we will have dual protagonists, Leon Kennedy (Bad*SS) and Grace (Capcom’s “most scaredy” lead ever).

The players will be revisiting Raccoon City’s ruins, and expect more immersive survival horror with gore, puzzles, and RE staples. You can play in both first-person and third-person perspectives.

The game price is $69.99 standard; Deluxe $79.99 with extras and is available to play on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2 and PC.

Players will be able to switch between Leon and Grace. Both will have almost split playable sections in the story. From Grace, you can expect more about scared survival horror, tense and resource-scarce stealth gameplay.

Meanwhile, Leon will bring explosive dopamine, gunfights and extreme action against the monsters.
