Today, Capcom took center stage at Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025 with a new trailer for highly anticipated video game Resident Evil Requiem.
Set 30 years after the outbreak in Raccoon City, Resident Evil Requiem follows Grace on a new case where the young FBI analyst must return to the scene and face her tragic memories. This new era of survival horror is creeping to PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam on February 27, 2026.
In the new trailer below, we meet a younger Grace with her mother, investigative reporter and Raccoon City survivor Alyssa Ashcroft from Resident Evil Outbreak. It feels safe to say that this scene will play a huge role in adult Grace’s return to Raccoon City thanks to residual trauma. At the very least it’s not looking good for a couple characters in the new clip.
Requiem will also offer first-person camera and the series’ traditional third-person camera. What this all means is that Requiem will allow players to swap between first-person and third-person perspectives through the Options menu at any point during gameplay.
According to Resident Evil Requiem director Koshi Nakanishi, the upcoming game will stay true to the series’ Survival Horror roots, but highlight “a kind of thrill” to the action.
The new game arrives just ahead of a major milestone; the Resident Evil series will also celebrate its 3oth anniversary in March 2026. So expect to hear a lot more about Requiem and the beloved video game series in the coming months.
