Resident Evil returns in bold, bloody double feature

Resident Evil Requiem offers two distinct gameplay styles with protagonists Grace Ashcroft and Leon S. Kennedy in a 12-hour double feature blending survival horror and action.

  • On February 27th, 2026, Capcom releases Resident Evil Requiem on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2.
  • Capcom framed Requiem as a deliberate mash-up that revitalises the Resident Evil series, which turns 30 next year, and marketing leaned on nostalgia to engage fans and longtime players.
  • Grace Ashcroft explores tense, low-weapon corridors as she anchors survival-horror with torch use, crafting and typewriter saves, while Leon S. Kennedy drives action segments with a large arsenal, axe upgrades and chainsaw use.
  • Reviewers note the title both rewards fans and offers a jumping-on point through Grace Ashcroft while longtime fans appreciate Leon S. Kennedy's return.
  • The structure and settings indicate that the two-protagonist design embodies Resident Evil franchise's dual identity, recycling Raccoon City and classic maps while highlighting the Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center.
