Introduction
There are many Resident Evil games, and all of them are well-liked. On February 27, 2026, Capcom published Resident Evil Requiem. Even though this was a big hit and everyone enjoyed it, there was not a single negative review. This game was developed and published by Capcom. The new game is playable on Windows, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Let’s explore what Capcom has in store for us.
Story & Setting
Resident Evil Requiem story follows players controlling a new character, FBI agent Grace Ashcroft, and Leon S. Kennedy. Their mission is to investigate the remains of Raccoon City.
The story of Resident Evil Requiem is set about 30 years after Raccoon City was destroyed in Resident Evil 3.
The FBI is sent to investigate the Wrenwood Hotel, where a strange series of deaths is happening. It also happens to be the place where Grace’s mother died years ago. In the middle of her investigation, she is kidnapped and finds herself trapped in the Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center. The other playable character, Leon, investigates the deaths of several Raccoon City survivors in the Midwest, along with Umbrella scientist Victor Gideon. Both characters are playable.
Gameplay & Mechanics
As I mentioned before, both characters are playable. The story of Resident Evil Requiem alternates between the two characters, just like Resident Evil: Revelations (2012) and Resident Evil: Revelations 2 (2015). This horror game can be played in either first-person or third-person perspective at any time.
Grace
Like in previous Resident Evil games, where playable characters are pursued by monsters, Grace is also pursued by monsters. Players have to crouch and sneak to avoid being detected. The playable character can also hide under objects like tables. If the monster is onto you, you can throw glass bottles to disorient it, but once the monster locates you, it may stalk you through walls and ceilings. Players may also use a lighter to illuminate dark areas, but using the lighter can attract monsters.
Leon
Leon focuses more on action and combat against zombies. He can use firearms and melee moves. Leon can also pick up enemy weapons to use against them.
Graphics & Engine
The new game, Resident Evil Requiem, uses the RE Engine. The game was developed for the ninth generation of consoles. The game includes ray tracing, which consoles like the PS5 Pro can take advantage of.
Hair
Hair is something challenging for all games. Resident Evil Requiem uses the RE Engine’s hair strand system. The RE Engine uses a physics-based simulation system that makes hair look more natural and realistic.
Multiplayer or Online Mode (If Any)
Resident Evil Requiem took more than six years of development. In the early stages, Resident Evil Requiem was first planned as an online open-world multiplayer game, but that idea was scrapped, and the project was rebooted in 2021. The developers wanted something more traditional, like the previous single-player Resident Evil games. Plus, the team said that fans would prefer single-player experiences.
Playable on Platforms
Reviews from PlayStation 5 are generally favorable, and the game received universal acclaim on Windows, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2.
Review
Was Resident Evil Requiem worthy of celebrating the 30th anniversary of the franchise? According to positive reviews, yes, Resident Evil Requiem is totally worth it.
