Resident Evil Requiem — Characters, Setting, and the Story Capcom Has Been Building Toward
Resident Evil Requiem, released on February 27, 2026, has achieved significant commercial success with five million copies sold in its first week across multiple platforms. The game is praised for its compelling characters, particularly FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft and the returning Leon S. Kennedy, and its effective use of an American Midwest setting. Director Koshi Nakanishi drew inspiration from classic horror cinema, focusing on resilience over dominance, and the narrative delves into the unresolved trauma connected to the Raccoon City incident, promising substantial contributions to the series' lore.
