As of now, there is no official announcement from Capcom or any credible source confirming a new Resident Evil title titled Resident Evil Requiem. The Resident Evil series has seen several mainline entries, remakes, and spin-offs, including Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, Resident Evil Village, and the upcoming Resident Evil 9 (rumored, not officially confirmed). However, "Requiem" does not appear on any official release schedule. It's possible that "Resident Evil Requiem" may be a fan-made concept, rumor, or confusion with another title—such as Resident Evil: Requiem, a 2009 direct-to-DVD animated film that was part of the Resident Evil: Damnation series (a trilogy of animated films). That film was not a game, but a standalone story. For now, fans should rely on official sources like Capcom’s website or press releases for accurate information about future Resident Evil projects. Stay tuned for official announcements through Capcom’s social media channels or gaming events like Gamescom or The Game Awards.

Resident Evil 9 Officially Revealed as Resident Evil Requiem – Launching February 27, 2026

In a震撼 (shockwave) moment at Summer Game Fest 2025, Capcom delivered one of the most anticipated reveals in gaming history: Resident Evil 9, officially titled Resident Evil Requiem.

Set for release on February 27, 2026, Resident Evil Requiem marks the next evolution in the legendary survival horror franchise. The game is being developed under the creative direction of Jun Takeuchi and Mahiro Maeda, with Shuhei Yoshida returning as producer. The announcement was accompanied by a chilling cinematic trailer that plunged players into a fractured Raccoon City, where the past and present collide in a terrifying new chapter of the Resident Evil mythos.

Key Details:

• Title: Resident Evil Requiem
• Release Date: February 27, 2026
• Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (via Capcom Store and Steam)

What’s New?

The Trailer:

The cinematic reveal opened with a haunting piano melody over a storm-wracked Raccoon City. As the camera pans across abandoned buildings and twisted creatures, a voice whispers: “They didn’t die. They were reborn.” The trailer culminates with a transformation of the iconic Tyrant into a grotesque fusion of human and machine, screaming as it rises from the ruins.

Capcom confirmed that Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield will make a cameo appearance, but the story centers on a new era—where legacy is not a burden, but a weapon.

Developer Commentary:

“Resident Evil Requiem isn’t just a sequel. It’s a requiem for the old world—and a funeral march for the new one. We’re pushing the boundaries of fear, not just through jump scares, but through psychological depth, ethical dilemmas, and the unbearable weight of survival.”
— Jun Takeuchi, Director
