- The new footage spotlights Leon’s combat-heavy missions, including chainsaw attacks and signature melee moves, with an older, grizzled portrayal.
- The trailer introduces antagonist Victor Gideon pursuing Grace and references a new pathogen called Elpis with ties to Umbrella lore.
- Resident Evil Requiem launches February 27, 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, and PC, with preorders, a Deluxe Edition, and a Porsche collaboration detailed.
- Developers say Grace and Leon’s sections are almost equally split, as the story returns to Raccoon City locations like the police department and the Wrenwood Hotel.
