Now Playing: Resident Evil Requiem (RE9) - Official Cinematic Reveal Trailer

Considering the origins of Requiem as an online title, that may explain why it features Grace Ashcroft, the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft from the franchise's first multiplayer game, Resident Evil Outbreak. The story is also picking up the narrative threads from the first three RE games by returning to Raccoon City 30 years after it was bombed to end the zombie infestation.

During the Capcom Showcase, one of Requiem's devs explained why Leon Kennedy is a bad fit for horror games like the current chapter in the franchise. Grace is an FBI agent in the game and she does have some firearm experience, but she's not an action hero like Leon. It's going to be more of a struggle for Grace to survive than it would have been for Leon.

Resident Evil Requiem will hit Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC on February 27, 2026. That date is just under a month shy of the 30th anniversary of the original Resident Evil game.
