As much as I love the classic entries, the newer Resident Evil games (Biohazard and Village) are some top-tier twists on the beloved franchise, easily becoming some of the best horror games in my library. The first-person perspective and limited ammunition take it away from the action-focused parts of Resident Evil 5 and 6, respectively, but Resident Evil Requiem is bringing the best of both worlds here. If you're keen to see how Grace and Leon's story falls together in the ninth mainline entry, you can pre-order it at a discount with Fanatical. And, to make it even more worthwhile, you can also get a free Steam key for another game, or potentially, a coupon for your next purchase.

The post Next Week on Xbox: New Games for February 23 to 27 appeared first on Xbox Wire.
Resident Evil Requiem is only a week away, but that hasn't stopped numerous leakers from sharing the game's content, including major story beats, with everyone. From streams to Reddit posts to clips on X, RE9 is being spread like wildfire, and it's not even out yet.
And Capcom has had enough of that. In a short statement on X, the company has kindly asked players to stop sharing the game around before it launches on Feb. 27, as it wishes for "everyone to enjoy the game's story and experience as much as possible."
Before the leaks, significant plot points were spoken of in discussions and theories, with fans believing this could be one of the most consequential Resident Evil stories ever told.
I'm in that boat and would never want the surprise to be spoiled for me, because what would even be the point of playing the game?
Those who do not comply and continue to release high-profile leaks will feel the wrath of Capcom's lawyers, who seem very trigger-happy now that the cat's really out of the bag. "Our legal department will continue to issue takedowns and deletion notices for leaks in order to preserve your day-one experience," the company stated.
Resident Evil Requiem comes out on Feb. 27, i.e., next weekend, as of this article. People are so restless that they couldn't have borne to wait another seven days to see things for themselves, but just had to indulge in leaks and spoilers and, what's worse, in spoiling it for others.
The post Capcom kindly asks everyone to stop spoiling Resident Evil Requiem: ‘We really want everyone to enjoy the game’s story’ appeared first on Destructoid.
Resident Evil Requiem comes out on Feb. 27, or in just over a week as of this article. Some fans, though, are so excited that they've found ways to play the game earlier. And instead of keeping hush-hush about it, they're sharing it with the world by streaming, recording, and uploading clips from the game.
To put it bluntly: spoilers are everywhere. Just logging into X and Reddit the other day, I found a person running a full-blown stream of RE9, allegedly switching accounts every day to avoid Sony's righteous banhammer. It unfortunately showed me some scenes I would have liked to experience for myself in the comfort of my own PC and horror-primed OLED screen. But alas, I got spoiled, which doesn't mean you should be, too.
My advice to you would be to completely ignore any and all Resident Evil-related channels. Whether that's on X or Reddit (YouTube should be safe because you can actually see the thumbnails, but even the,n Shorts is booby-trapped), you'd do well to mute these communities for at least the next 10 days or so. Avoiding any leak-oriented part of the internet is highly advised, as I came across the stream above exactly in one such community.
Leaks have been a plague on the video game industry for a while now, with some people just unwilling to wait for a bit longer before they engage with a title. I understand the hype, and I'm very excited to play the game, but for the love of God, let's keep it civil for one more week. There's no need to know all of these things upfront or before they're ready for launch.
Stay civil, stay vigilant, and avoid spoilers (and spoiling) as much as you can.
The post Beware, Resident Evil fans. Requiem has leaked, and spoilers are around every corner appeared first on Destructoid.
Capcom has found itself in a bit of a pickle this week as early copies of Resident Evil Requiem have resulted in major spoilers for story and locations leaking more than the Queen Vic toilets, so if you’re looking to have a complete media blackout on the game, you should probably avoid social media like the plague.
Things have gotten so bad that Capcom has issued a statement on social media, which we’ve included below (note this is translated from the Japanese social account):
We ask players not to post or share these video clips on video distribution services or SNS before the game’s release date, in consideration of other players.Sharing such clips prior to release constitutes a violation of copyright and harms the experience of other customers, and swift and decisive action, including deletion and warnings, will be taken upon discovery.
We also ask viewers of this post to refrain from watching or sharing any leaked video clips if they encounter them. The developers wish to deliver an exciting gameplay experience with a story intertwined with mystery and tension, and challenges against unknown threats.
Resident Evil Requiem is slated to launch for PS5, PC, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X/S on February 27, 2026. The game is set nearly 30 years after the destruction of Raccoon City depicted in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, and follows two characters: FBI agent Grace Ashcroft and returning hero and DSO agent, Leon S. Kennedy, who are investigating murders linked to survivors of the T-Virus outbreak of 1998. Grace is also the daughter of Alyssa of Resident Evil: Outbreak fame, and part of her investigation sees her returning to the site of her mother’s gruesome murder, while Leon is on the trail of ex-Umbrella scientist, Victor Gideon.
Capcom is celebrating 30 years of Resident Evil throughout 2026, with the original survival horror classic having launched for PlayStation in Japan on March 22, 1996 (known over there as Biohazard).

If I were the foreman of an game refinery, I might be dabbing my forehead in anticipation right now because there is a lot coming down the pipeline in 2026. You may be looking at the telltale bulge of Grand Theft Auto, but I'm more focused on the amount of damn fine horror we've got in the plumbing.

Well, if so, we have good news: you can now pre-order Resident Evil Requiem at an 18% discount if you get it from Fanatical.

A brand-new gameplay clip of Resident Evil Requiem has finally revealed the classic zombies in action. The footage, coming from a Japanese TV segment, shows Grace Ashcroft facing one of these creatures in a sequence that instantly evokes the spirit of Resident Evil 2. With the game launching next year, fans are now getting their first real taste of how Capcom is shaping its new take on survival horror.
The core survival-horror elements of Resident Evil Requiem have been showcased effectively in recent events (such as Gamescom 2025), but a crucial part of the experience, combat, has remained unseen until today. Unfortunately, the reveal wasn't accompanied by the confirmation all fans are waiting for: the presence of Leon Kennedy in the game. A few hours ago, new Resident Evil Requiem combat footage started making the rounds online. The short clip was shown in a series' special program which aired in Japan earlier today. This clip showcases a brand-new area and Grace fighting multiple zombies using a handgun in some […]

Fresh gameplay of Resident Evil Requiem has surfaced online from a Japanese TV feature on the franchise, which depicts heroine Grace Ashcroft fighting against shambling undead in what appears to be a new location not previously showcase by Capcom.
The footage features the game’s third-person camera and sees Grace popping a few rounds in a zombie before her lumbering adversary manages to grab her for quite bite. She manages to escape, although there appears to be another zombie on the prowl and so the player quickly makes a beeline for the stairs. Insider Dusk Golem noted that this clip is “100% the censored Japanese version” as the program aired in Japan.

How long is Resident Evil Requiem? Resident Evil games are usually a pretty contained affair, offering a solid sitting or two's worth of spooky gameplay, depending on how lost in the sauce you get. Resident Evil Requiem is on track to follow the trend, but how long is it exactly? Though the Resident Evil Requiem release date is still a stone's throw away, we already have a working idea of its expected length, based on dev comments, series trends, and the odd reputable leak. Grace's horror game debut is already shaping up to be a horrifying experience; the multiplayer prototype Requiem was born out of was canned simply for not being scary enough, so expect nothing less than sheer terror. Here's what we know about Requiem's length so far.

Alyssa Ashcroft is one of Resident Evil's biggest badasses. The no-nonsense journalist has always been my standout from Outbreak's cast, and when Resident Evil Requiem was initially announced I couldn't wait to see her in action once again. There's one problem though... she's dead. If a fresh update from reputable leaker 'Dusk Golem' is anything to go by, though, Alyssa is set to get her own DLC slice.
