At gamecom Opening Night Live, Capcom brought a fresh new trailer for Resident Evil Requiem (RE9), and this one gives us our first look at gameplay. While there’s not a lot of it, what’s shown was very, very impressive.

The transition from cinematics to gameplay must be seen to be believed. Don’t believe us? Watch the trailer for yourself.

Resident Evil Requiem Visuals Are Looking Spectacular

The trailer is brutal and gives us a peek at Grace Ashcroft’s dark past. In the press release sent by Capcom, it gives a synopsis of the horror game, stating, “Set 30 years after the outbreak in Raccoon City, Resident Evil Requiem follows Grace on a new case where the young FBI analyst must return to the scene and face her tragic memories. This new era of survival horror is creeping to PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam on February 27, 2026.”

Resident Evil Requiem is playable on the gamescom show floor, and we’ll try and give it a go, and report our hands-on impressions here.

Will we get to see Leon? Capcom might be throwing us off-scent, as the developers said Leon is a “bad match for horror,” though we’re still holding out hope.

Resident Evil Requiem is sert for release on Feb. 27, 2026, on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
