Building on the Resident Evil Requiem reveal at The Game Awards, Capcom has scheduled a 12-minute showcase for January 15, 2026, at 2 PM PT. The event will feature new gameplay and updates for the February 27 release, set in Raccoon City with protagonists Grace Ashcroft and Leon S. Kennedy.
Capcom revealed the Resident Evil Showcase on January 13, 2026, shortly after teasing an early-year event. Set for Thursday, January 15, at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET / 10 PM UK, the presentation promises 'brand-new gameplay and news' for Resident Evil Requiem.
Requiem launches February 27, 2026, on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. As previously announced at The Game Awards, it features dual protagonists: newcomer Grace Ashcroft (daughter of Alyssa from Resident Evil Outbreak) for tension-focused horror, and veteran Leon S. Kennedy for action-heavy sequences, both in a decimated Raccoon City.
The showcase arrives amid Capcom addressing PC performance issues for Requiem, informed by feedback on Monster Hunter Wilds. Early hands-on previews have praised its scares, with one journalist noting they 'screamed loudly' during a demo.
2026 is the 30th anniversary of Resident Evil, though no special events are confirmed yet. Separately, a new Resident Evil film directed by Zach Cregger is slated for October.
