Capcom does not hide his huge ambitions for Resident Evil 9 Requiem, going so far as to declare that he will mark “a new era of horror”.
Expected next year to mark the 30th anniversary of the legendary Capcom franchise, Resident Evil 9 Requiem was the last announcement of the opening ceremony of Summer Game Fest 2025under the overexcited ovation of the hearing, both in Los Angeles and around the world. We then told you about our opinion after being entitled to an overview of this new opus. Capcom has also expanded the official license site, and is obviously not cold in the eyes by promoting its next major opus.
Resident Evil 9 Requiem, even horror revolution?
After the very convincing reinterpretation of the franchise in FPS with Resident Evil 7Requiem promises to be, as we have seen, as an amalgam of the best of both worlds, with a first person view, but also a third -person view, as well as a priori certain passages with fixed camera angles as in its genesis. Beyond that, this resident Evil 9 Requiem will immerse us in the horror of Raccoon City, several decades after the traumatic events of the first three games.
Pending feverishly to discover more, the official Resident Evil 9 Requiem website has been stocked with a punch communication from Capcom. From the header, we can for example read: ” Requiem for the dead. Nightmare for the living ». The site also prepares the players to ” escape death in a petrifying experience that freezes you to the blood ». The Japanese studio even goes so far as to say that this resident Evil 9 will mark ” A new era of the survival horror ». This in particular thanks to ” technological advances »From a re Engine to the top of its form, of the” rich characters And a gameplay « more immersive than ever ».
So many keywords that clearly shiver both for fear and pleasure for horror lovers, and even more for fans of the legendary franchise. While waiting to see what it really is, in particular via a playable demo at Gamescom 2025 in August, and probably shortly after everyone, we will not have to shudder with impatience for too long, since Resident Evil 9 Requiem will be released on February 27, 2026 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series.
