‘Resident Evil Requiem’ Coming February 27; Playable at Gamescom! [Trailer]

They saved the best for last with Summer Game Fest, as Capcom has finally revealed the ninth entry in mainline Resident Evil series with Resident Evil Requiem! The game will arrive February 27 for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series. Best of all, the game’s demo will be playable at this year’s Gamescom!

Touted as a shift for the franchise in both tone and feel, with “cinematic high stakes action,” Resident Evil Requiem has been rumoured and teased over the past couple of year, with Capcom getting in on the fun last month with the Resident Evil 4 remake’s milestone. Requiem will coincide with the 30th anniversary of the Resident Evil franchise, so we can probably expect more from Capcom regarding the celebration around that time.

Powered by RE ENGINE and harnessing the full power of modern consoles, Resident Evil Requiem delivers spine-chilling realism like never before, with complex character details like lifelike facial expressions, realistic skin textures, and even high-fidelity sweat droplets that are sure to keep players on the edge of their seats. This upcoming entry takes the series back to the iconic Raccoon City, home of the biological disaster that shook the world, combining deeply terrifying aspects of psychological horror with pulse-pounding action that franchise fans know and love.
