"The next mainline Resident Evil game is months away, and the hype among devoted fans is likely as contagious as a well-designed Umbrella Corp. bio-weapon. Requiem doesn't just look the part of a dark and violent survival horror game; the developers have made it clear that Requiem really wants to scare you, unlike some previous RE titles that were more action-oriented."
"Resident Evil has been with us since 1996. Since then, it's become one of the most iconic and celebrated survival horror series out there, and deservedly so with its iconic cast of heroes and villains. Though some entries haven't landed as well with hardcore fans, the series has arguably been riding high since 2017's Resident Evil 7 Biohazard. And it didn't stop there; a series of successful remakes of games from the series' glory years in the '90s and 2000s have also served as reminders"
Resident Evil: Requiem (Resident Evil 9) launches February 27, 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, and Windows PC. The game follows Grace Ashcroft, an FBI technical analyst who returns to Raccoon City and confronts nightmares from her past. Requiem emphasizes dark, violent survival horror and aims to prioritize genuine scares over action-oriented gameplay. Grace is not battle-hardened but brings prior experiences with the series' violent threats. The series has been active since 1996 and gained renewed acclaim since 2017's Resident Evil 7 and through successful remakes of early classics, fueling fan anticipation.
