Resident Evil Requiem (PS5)

Resident Evil Requiem is the ninth mainline entry in Capcom’s legendary Resident Evil survival-horror series, developed for modern platforms including the PlayStation 5. Set to launch on February 27, 2026, this installment pushes the franchise’s survival horror roots with cutting-edge visuals powered by the RE Engine, immersive audio, and a blend of psychological terror and tactical action.

The story picks up roughly 30 years after the destruction of Raccoon City, following new protagonist Grace Ashcroft, an FBI analyst investigating strange deaths linked to her past at the decrepit Wrenwood Hotel. Alongside Grace, familiar faces like Leon S. Kennedy return, adding depth and fan service to the narrative. Players can switch between first-person and third-person camera perspectives on the fly, tailoring the experience toward pure horror or more traditional action-oriented gameplay.

Built for next-gen performance, the PS5 version supports high-resolution visuals and advanced effects like ray tracing and adaptive controller features to heighten tension. With its mixture of lore, tense exploration, puzzles, and grotesque enemies, Resident Evil Requiem aims to offer one of the most atmospheric and chilling survival horror experiences in the franchise to date.
