Resident Evil 9: Requiem – Back to the Fear

Resident Evil 9: Requiem launches on February 27, 2026, pulling players back to Raccoon City thirty years after the nuclear blast. The streets lie in ruins. 

Trees push through abandoned cars. The once-familiar police station now feels like a forgotten tomb. Umbrella’s logo has faded, yet whispers suggest the company never truly left.

You step into the shoes of Grace Ashcroft, a young FBI agent with no real combat experience. Her mother, Alyssa, survived the events of the Outbreak games years ago. Grace carries only a handgun, a flashlight, and a small voice recorder.

She speaks into it when fear takes over, and her words become part of the horror.

Choose How You Face the Dark

For the first time, the game lets you switch between camera views whenever you want:

• First-person mode puts you inside Grace’s eyes. You see her shaking hands and feel every shadow closing in.

• Third-person mode pulls the camera back, allowing you to watch Grace move, aim, and fight with greater control.

The choice is in your hands. Want raw terror? Stay close. Need room to breathe? Step back. The game never forces one style.

Alone in the Nightmare

Capcom dropped all multiplayer plans. No co-op. No online modes. Just you, the darkness, and the creatures that hunt you.

The director behind Resident Evil 7 returns with a clear message:

“Fear is not for sharing. It’s for one person in the dark.”

The Horrors That Wait

Classic zombies shuffle through the ruins—slow, broken, almost pitiful. New enemies move faster and think ahead. Massive bosses rise from the wreckage, including a twisted version of the old Tyrant, now scarred and furious.

Combat is not the answer to everything. You learn to hide, to run, to count every bullet.

Built to Look and Feel Real

Powered by the RE Engine, the world reacts to every step. Rain slides down your screen. Lights flicker and die. Blood stains the floor and stays there. The game runs on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and the new Nintendo Switch 2, delivering next-gen visuals across all platforms.

Why Resident Evil 9 Feels Different?

The Resident Evil series grew huge, loud, and sometimes too safe. Requiem scales it back. One rookie agent. One ruined city. One long, desperate night.

This is not a remake or a restart. It’s a return to what made the series scary in the first place.

Pre-order if you’re ready. Or wait and see. Either way, when February arrives, turn off the lights.

Raccoon City is waiting and this time, it remembers your name.
