The upcoming game, Resident Evil Requiem, is set to offer more than just your usual shooter experience. Director Koshi Nakanishi has revealed that the boss battles will require strategic thinking rather than just mindless shooting. Players will have to get creative, use their environment, and come up with clever tactics to survive.
Taking inspiration from the earlier Resident Evil games, like the first and second installments, each encounter will present itself as a puzzle filled with monsters. The main character, Grace Ashcroft, will also embody this theme, starting off timid but gaining confidence as the story unfolds.
One intriguing feature is the ability to switch between first-person and third-person views at any time, a new addition to the series. There are rumors of a more open Raccoon City, featuring drivable cars and combat similar to The Last of Us. While nothing is confirmed yet, anticipation is running high.
With a scheduled release date of February 27, 2026, Resident Evil Requiem will be playable on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and the new Nintendo Switch 2. Capcom was pleasantly surprised by the game’s success on the Nintendo console, surpassing expectations.
Speculations suggest that this game could bring closure to the Umbrella storyline, paving the way for new directions in the series. Whether these rumors turn out to be true or not, one thing is certain: Requiem will offer a blend of nostalgia with a modern twist.
