Introducing the Appeal of Resident Evil Requiem All at Once! You Won't Be Able to Escape the Terror and Excitement
PR TIMESThe information revealed in "Resident Evil Showcase | January 15, 2026" is introduced below.
Pay attention to the various innovations that increase the depth of the gaming experience.
Dual Protagonists Grace and Leon: Enjoy Different Gameplay Experiences
In this title, the story unfolds through alternating perspectives between Grace, who faces shuddering terror, and Leon, who utilizes exhilarating action.
The design is intended to heighten the player's fear and excitement through gameplay experiences that could be called polar opposites.
Grace will be confronting zombies and creatures for the first time.
In an environment where even survival resources are scarce, her fear as someone with no combat experience is expressed through a first-person perspective.
You can feel Grace's dread and her desire for escape with a deeper sense of immersion.
Leon is a veteran agent pursuing a series of mysterious deaths suspected to be a biological disaster.
His image as he overcomes deadly situations using physical techniques and firearms honed through extensive experience is expressed through a third-person perspective.
You can enjoy Leon's flashy action and pulse-pounding survival.
Zombies Repeating Strange Behaviors
PR TIMESIt seems that among the zombies appearing in this title, there are those obsessed with their actions from when they were alive.
The existence of zombies continuing bizarre behaviors, such as a chef immersed in cooking, a singer who continues to sing, or a cleaner who keeps polishing a mirror, will undoubtedly add further depth to the story.
A Premium Survival Horror for Everyone: Various Play Settings Available
In Resident Evil Requiem, first-person and third-person perspectives can be switched freely, allowing for a gameplay experience of your choice.
Furthermore, in the Casual difficulty, weapon aiming is supported, so even those who are uneasy about handling guns can feel at ease.
PR TIMESOn the other hand, if you select Standard Classic, the Ink Ribbon item will be required for saving during Grace's gameplay.
It is the perfect choice for those who want to taste the tension of the series' former years.
What Is Elpis, the Key to the Story?
PR TIMESWithin the story, players will encounter the mysterious word Elpis.
The death of Grace's mother, Alyssa, Grace's own past, and the events hidden within Leon.
It is said that the keyword connecting all of them is Elpis.
We hope you will play and see the truth of the story for yourself.
Introducing the Media Expansion of Resident Evil Requiem: It Doesn't End With the Gaming Experience!
Resident Evil Requiem is planning many collaborations and expansions even at this stage.
It seems the way to enjoy this title is not limited to gameplay.
Compatible With the Cloud Gaming Service GeForce NOW!
PR TIMESIt was announced that Resident Evil Requiem will be compatible with the cloud gaming service GeForce NOW.
If you purchase the Steam or Epic Games Store versions, you can enjoy gameplay through GeForce NOW even on a PC with casual specs.
