Capcom Releases Resident Evil: Requiem, Returning the Series to Survival Horror

A new lead character pairs with Leon S. Kennedy to fuse tense exploration with bursts of action.

Overview

  • Grace Ashcroft, an FBI analyst probing deaths among T‑Virus survivors, is playable with a choice of first‑ or third‑person perspective.
  • The narrative moves from the Wrenwood Hotel to the Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Centre after former Umbrella scientist Victor Gideon triggers a small outbreak and abducts Grace.
  • Leon S. Kennedy and Sherry Birkin arrive as DSO agents showing infection symptoms, with Leon’s presence shifting several encounters toward action‑oriented combat.
  • New mechanics include a powerful axe capable of deflecting heavy attacks and the option for Leon to pick up and immediately use weapons found in the environment.
  • The game is available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch 2 for €70 with a USK 18 rating, featuring PC path tracing, PS5 Pro PSSR2 and notably strong Switch 2 performance in a roughly 15‑hour campaign.
