Resident Evil Requiem Combat Debuts on Japanese TV With First- and Third-Person Views

The broadcast used Japan's non-Z version, resulting in visibly toned-down gore.

Overview

  • A short combat segment aired during a Japanese TV special and has since circulated online.
  • The clip shows FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft fighting zombies in a hotel-like area, with gameplay presented in both first- and third-person, which Capcom says players can toggle in settings.
  • The footage reflects Japan’s censored release format, explaining reduced blood and the absence of dismemberment shots.
  • Leon S. Kennedy does not appear in the new material, and his involvement remains unconfirmed despite leaker claims he is playable.
  • Leaker Dusk Golem describes the game as more dynamic with emergent monster AI, a characterization not confirmed by Capcom, as the release is set for February 27, 2026 and reports suggest there will be no prelaunch demo.
