Okay, so here’s the thing. Resident Evil Requiem? Yeah, it’s one of those buzzwords floating around this year. Everyone’s yammering about it like it’s the next sliced bread or something. And why not? New protagonist, switch to psychological horror—it’s enough to make even the most jaded gamer perk up. It’s like the franchise just dropped all its bags of tricks and picked up a brand new one. But hold on, the setting might just twist the enemy scene even more.
You ever catch that trailer? No? Let me paint you a picture. Raccoon City from the sky. Yep, that’s where the thermobaric bomb decided to have its little outing. Not a nuclear one, if you’re wondering. So, fewer fireworks, but still pretty lethal stuff without the glowing aftermath. So carnage, yes, but no one-night-stand with radiation. But hey, who’s saying the infected in the ruins aren’t brewing up some nightmare fuel of their own?
What’s capturing everyone’s imagination is this wasteland—seriously, think crumbled RPD, bomb crater, the works. It’s like no one’s dared to return post-chaos. Now, maybe we’ll be wandering around this decrepit city in the game. Imagine the kind of twisted, mutated horrors lurking about, with all that time to simmer. Oh, and Grace—she’s our new face—or maybe not the only one. Rumors float about Leon S. Kennedy making a comeback. No confirmation yet, but if he does, it totally fits, right? Back to the good old haunted roots.
Grace, by the way, is on some mission—not just any mission, but the one where she revisits the place of her mom’s murder. Cue Wrenwood Hotel, cue FBI tech analyst gig, cue drama.
A quick hop back to Requiem’s launch—February 27, 2026. Feels like a waiting game, but not the drag-your-feet kind. With the announcements at Summer Game Fest (highlight of my calendar, for sure), it was all eyes on Requiem. Capcom’s teaser has us like kids waiting to see what’s in Santa’s sack. Hope Raccoon City’s wasteland isn’t just a backdrop. Who knows what kind of growling monstrosities are lurking in those shadows?
Oh, and just so you know, when this thing hits shelves, it’ll be on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. Can’t say I’m not excited—mostly for those creepy, corner-of-your-eye moments. Chills.
