Resident Evil Requiem

A survival horror game by the Japanese company Capcom, the ninth main instalment of the Resident Evil series that has run since 1996. The action is tied to Raccoon City, the town destroyed in one of the viral outbreaks; one of the playable figures is the FBI agent Grace Ashcroft. The standing supports of this world have held since the first instalments: the Umbrella corporation with its biological work, infections that turn people into creatures, and Raccoon City itself as the place where all of it once broke loose. The shape of the game is one the series largely set: the player explores enclosed rooms that open up gradually, as keys are found and mechanisms are solved, while there are more opponents about than there are means of dealing with them. Ammunition and medical supplies run out faster than they are replaced, so a fair part of the game goes on economy, on the division of inventory space and on making items from gathered components. A separate support is the pursuer, who usually cannot or should not be put down: encounters with him are settled by running and going around rather than by fighting. These three devices — limited resource, enclosed layout and an unkillable pursuer — are now reproduced by other developers as well. The recent instalments are built on Capcom's own RE Engine and allow both a first-person and a third-person view. The game came out on 27 February 2026 on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch 2.
