Overview
- Capcom says Requiem follows a single, unified story that switches between chapters for Leon S. Kennedy and newcomer Grace Ashcroft, with scenes where they meet.
- Director Akifumi Nakanishi describes Grace’s gameplay as Resident Evil 2–style survival horror, while Leon’s sections adopt Resident Evil 4–inspired martial arts and melee for adrenaline-pumping combat.
- The team designed the dual-protagonist structure to blend two kinds of tension, giving players a pacing rhythm comparable to Resident Evil Revelations.
- Leon returns as an older, battle-worn 'ikeoji' characterized by dry wit and subtle sarcasm, reflecting a seasoned personality and expanded combat skillset.
- Resident Evil Requiem launches February 27, 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC, with Capcom promoting a Porsche crossover featuring Leon in a custom Cayenne Turbo GT.
