Resident Evil Requiem: Capcom's Next Survival Horror Coming February 2026

Capcom has officially announced Resident Evil Requiem (known as Biohazard Requiem in Japan), the ninth mainline entry in the legendary survival horror franchise. Set for release on February 27, 2026, the game promises to deliver the series' trademark tension, terror, and visceral combat across multiple platforms.

A New Chapter in Survival Horror

Resident Evil Requiem marks a significant evolution for the series, introducing players to FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft as she faces unimaginable horrors. The game was unveiled at Summer Game Fest 2025, where Capcom showcased an intense trailer that highlighted the game's atmospheric environments and relentless threats.

Innovative Perspective System

One of Requiem's most notable features is the ability to switch between first-person and third-person perspectives at any time during gameplay. This flexibility allows players to experience the horror from multiple angles, choosing the view that best suits their playstyle or the intensity of each situation. First-person delivers claustrophobic terror, while third-person provides situational awareness during combat encounters.

Relentless Pursuit

Following in the footsteps of iconic antagonists like Nemesis and Mr. X, Requiem introduces a new stalker enemy that relentlessly pursues Grace throughout her nightmare. This cat-and-mouse gameplay creates sustained tension as players must carefully manage resources while staying one step ahead of an unstoppable threat.

RE Engine Excellence

Powered by Capcom's acclaimed RE Engine, Resident Evil Requiem delivers stunning visuals and immersive environments that bring the horror to life. The engine has proven its capabilities across recent Resident Evil titles and other Capcom games, providing photorealistic graphics and smooth performance.

Multi-Platform Release

Resident Evil Requiem will launch simultaneously on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam, and notably, Nintendo Switch 2. The Nintendo Switch 2 version was announced during a Nintendo Direct presentation in September 2025, making Requiem one of the flagship titles for the new console.
