The wait for Capcom’s Resident Evil Requiem is over. The ninth main entry in the series is available now for the Nintendo Switch 2, PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series. And just to tide you over while you’re busy downloading the game, Capcom has released the customary launch trailer.
Set 30 years after the Raccoon City Incident, Resident Evil Requiem follows FBI intelligence analyst Grace Ashcroft assigned to investigate a string of mysterious deaths in the same place where her mother was murdered eight years prior. When a police officer goes missing at the hotel, Legendary DSO agent Leon S. Kennedy is also dispatched to the scene.
As Grace and Leon’s paths converge, they must face their pasts and uncover the truth behind the Raccoon City Incident that changed the world forever. But while the terrors of their memories echo in their minds, will they relive the nightmare…or finally offer up a requiem for the dead?
Resident Evil Requiem is available in both Standard and Deluxe editions, with the Deluxe edition featuring the same base game as the Standard edition, plus an exclusive pack of five costumes, four weapon skins, two screen filters, two charms, and more.
