Resident Evil Requiem Showcase Reveals New Gameplay, Confirms No Demo Before Feb. 27 Launch

Capcom's showcase outlined new gameplay systems for dual protagonists, confirming no demo before the February 27 launch.

Overview

  • Resident Evil Requiem releases February 27, 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
  • Players can set first- or third-person perspectives per character and choose difficulties including Standard (Classic), which brings back Ink Ribbons and limited autosaves during Grace’s gameplay.
  • Leon’s action-focused segments feature hatchet parries with sharpening, weapon pickups such as a chainsaw, and close-quarters finishers.
  • Grace’s survival-horror sections emphasize scarce ammo, limited carrying capacity, and crafting that uses infected blood, with the powerful Requiem revolver as a last-resort option.
  • Capcom showcased zombies that retain lifelike habits and a stalking enemy that can sniff and break through structures, teased the Elpis mystery, and promoted collaborations with Porsche and Hamilton plus figures and a 30th‑anniversary concert series.
