Thursday, December 18, 2025 | Updated 8:00 AM ET

The rumors were true, but the details were even crazier. After months of silence, we finally have concrete details on the next mainline entry in the franchise. Forget "Resident Evil 9"—welcome to Resident Evil Requiem.

📅 Official Release Date

Date: February 27, 2026

Pre-orders are live now on all platforms.

👥 The "Split Campaign" Confirmed

Capcom has confirmed a dual-protagonist system, but it's not who everyone expected. The game is split into two distinct gameplay styles:

Leon S. Kennedy
He is back, older, and grizzled. His sections focus on pure action and combat, similar to RE4.

Grace Ashcroft
The NEW protagonist. Daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft. Her sections are pure survival horror (hiding, running, solving puzzles).

👁️ The New Villain: Victor Gideon

A new trailer introduced Victor Gideon, a hooded figure pursuing Grace. He refers to her as the "chosen one," and he seems to have abilities that rival Wesker's.

⚠️ Recent Leaks

• PlayStation Store Leak: A pre-load icon accidentally revealed Leon's new "Old Man" look before the official trailer dropped.
• Fortnite Collab: Epic Games Store pre-orders reportedly include a "Grace Ashcroft" skin for Fortnite.
