Capcom surprised fans at Summer Game Fest with multiple teases before showing Resident Evil Requiem. The company first announced anniversary celebrations and game sales. They saved the actual game reveal for the end of their showcase. Fans had to wait through two hours of presentations to see the new survival horror title.
Grace Ashcroft stars as the main character and works as an FBI investigator. Her mother Alyssa died during events from earlier Resident Evil games. The developers want players to experience fear through someone who fights to survive rather than a trained soldier. Grace must use her FBI training to stay calm under pressure during dangerous situations.
The demo starts with Grace tied upside down on a hospital bed. She cuts herself free using broken glass pieces and escapes the medical facility. Players explore an abandoned hospital filled with locked doors and electrical puzzles. Grace carries only eight items at once and must find keys to progress through different areas.
Combat works differently from other Resident Evil games because Grace lacks military training. She throws bottles at enemies instead of using guns or knives. A large monster hunts Grace through the hospital and can bite chunks from her body. Players can heal damage using medical injectors found throughout the building.
Resident Evil Requiem launches February 27th, 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC systems.
