The reveal trailer for Resident Evil Requiem, the ninth mainline entry in the Resident Evil series, was unveiled at Summer Game Fest 2025 on June 6, 2025. It introduces a new protagonist, Grace Ashcroft, an FBI technical analyst investigating bizarre deaths, which leads her back to the scene of her mother’s murder, possibly linking her to Alyssa Ashcroft from Resident Evil Outbreak. The trailer showcases a destroyed Raccoon City, post-nuclear strike, with iconic locations like the ruined Raccoon City Police Department, hinting at a return to the franchise’s survival horror roots with psychological horror and cinematic action elements. It features unsettling imagery, including Grace strapped to a gurney, creepy hallways, and a shadowy figure calling her the “chosen one.” The game is set to release on February 27, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam), promising advanced visuals and immersive gameplay via the RE Engine. Fans have expressed excitement over the post-nuke Raccoon City setting and horror focus, though some noted the trailer’s lack of gameplay footage.
