Resident Evil Requiem New Gameplay Showcase Livestream | January 15, 2PM PT

Quick Overview

The Resident Evil Showcase revealed details about Resident Evil Requiem, including its dual protagonist structure featuring Grace (horror-focused) and Leon (action-focused), a release date of February 27, 2026, special collaborations with Porsche for an in-game car and Hamilton for collectible watches, and the implementation of NVIDIA DLSS 4 with Path Tracing for enhanced performance and graphics.

Key Points: Resident Evil Requiem features dual protagonists, Grace (focused on horror/suspense) and Leon (focused on thrilling action combat, similar to Resident Evil 4). The game releases on February 27, 2026, and will feature a specific gameplay mechanic where players can switch between the two characters, whose sections offer vastly different experiences. A collaboration with Porsche introduced a custom Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT for Leon's in-game segments, emphasizing style and navigation through dangerous moments. A collaboration with Hamilton resulted in two limited-edition watches inspired by the protagonists: the Khaki Field Auto Chrono (for Leon) and the Pan Europ Automatic (for Grace), releasing February 27th. The game utilizes NVIDIA technology, including DLSS 4 and Path Tracing (PT), achieving frame rates up to 193 FPS (with DLSS 4/PT On) in the city environment shown. Grace's horror sections emphasize stealth and resource management, evidenced by the need for Ink Ribbons to save progress, similar to classic Resident Evil titles. The game will also include extra costumes for both characters and will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, Nintendo Switch, Epic Games Store, and GeForce NOW.
