Capcom has officially revealed the next mainline Resident Evil game, subtitled Requiem, and it is coming early next year.

Resident Evil Requiem (or Resident Evil 9, RE9uiem, or whatever we’re supposed to call it) got an official reveal during Summer Game Fest 2025, and shortly after that, a select few people got to play a demo behind closed doors.

Capcom has announced Resident Evil Requiem, the ninth installment in the survival horror franchise, revealed at Summer Game Fest 2025.

Resident Evil: Requiem will be released on February 27, 2026. Resident Evil: Requiem will launch for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. This means that the next mainline entry is making a proper leap over to current-gen systems, leaving last-gen consoles behind.

It’s great to get freaked out by a Resident Evil game again; after the action-packed events of Village, Resident Evil 4 Remake, and Shadows of Rose, Requiem marks a true return to the ‘horror’ roots that were so expertly on display throughout Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. And while Biohazard was plenty scary, Requiem is downright terrifying.

Grace's trip to Raccoon City isn't the only thing bridging the old and the new in Requiem—for the first time in Resident Evil, you can swap between third- and first-person at any time. Capcom debuted the feature in a behind-closed-doors, hands-off demo at Summer Game Fest as a "one more thing" surprise.
