Resident Evil Requiem Showcase Details Dual Playstyles, Classic Saves for Grace, and Feb. 27 Release

The showcase emphasized a split design with distinct mechanics for each protagonist.

Overview

  • Leon’s sections lean into action with a sharpenable hatchet for parries, the ability to seize enemy weapons such as a chainsaw, and refined limb-targeting with brutal finishers.
  • Grace’s scenarios emphasize survival horror through scarce ammo, stealth, crafting with infected blood, and a powerful but limited Requiem revolver.
  • Difficulty options include Casual with aim assist and a Standard (Classic) mode that requires ink ribbons to save during Grace’s segments.
  • Zombies exhibit remnants of their former lives, with behaviors players can observe and exploit, and some show limited speech.
  • The game launches February 27 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC, features optional first- or third-person perspectives, had no demo announcement, and adds tie-ins like a Porsche SUV, limited Hamilton watches, collectible figures, and a concert series.
