Resident Evil Requiem

Resident Evil Requiem is the ninth numbered game in the series and a direct sequel to the classic Raccoon City trilogy. The story takes place in October 2026, 28 years after the nuclear destruction of Raccoon City (the ending of RE3). There are two protagonists: Grace Ashcroft, an FBI analyst and the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft from Outbreak 2003; and Leon S. Kennedy, a DSO agent who is playable for the first time since 2012. Both end up in the medical center of the Wrenwood Hotel in the ruins of Raccoon City: Grace looks for the truth about her mother's death, and Leon investigates a new biological threat.

The key new feature is hybrid camera switching: first-person or third-person view at any moment. This sets Requiem apart from Village 2021 (first-person only) and from RE4 Remake 2023 (third-person only). The segments with Grace are built on suspense and stealth, where every bullet counts, close in atmosphere to RE7. The segments with Leon are action shooter sections with intense fights, with a pace closer to RE4 Remake. The campaign takes about 12 to 15 hours for the main story plus 6 to 8 hours of additional content.

The game has a Metacritic score of 92 on PC and a user score of 9.3 (more than 14,600 reviews), a record score on Metacritic. 5 million copies were sold in the first five days: the strongest start the series has had in 20 years. Scores on all systems are similar: 93 XSX / 89 PS5 / 90 Switch 2.

Localization includes full official Russian voice acting from Capcom (Side Global studio) plus a Russian interface and subtitles. This is the third Capcom project with full Russian dubbing after Monster Hunter Wilds (February 2025) and PRAGMATA. Voices: Grace is voiced by Tatiana Ermilova (the community praises her), Leon by Igor Sergeev (criticized for not matching the character's age). The voice acting is official, not a fan mod.

The game runs on RE Engine RE neXt, an improved version of the engine used in RE Village / RE4 Remake / DMC5. Based on the PRAGMATA precedent, the community expects good optimization and stable frame timing. HDR and support for Xbox and DualSense controllers are officially confirmed. Included: a single-player campaign, Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud, and offline play without third-party accounts.

Kennedy (action segments), with switching between first-person and third-person view. Full official Russian voice acting. Released on 27 February 2026, built on RE Engine RE neXt.
