About the game

Release Year: 2026
Studio: Capcom
Writer: Haris Orkin

Introduction:
Resident Evil Requiem returns to a devastated Raccoon City nearly three decades after the original catastrophe, combining a new protagonist, FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft, with returning series icon Leon S. Kennedy. Grace investigates a string of mysterious deaths among Raccoon City survivors, which draws her into a new outbreak and forces an uneasy partnership with Leon, now older and more hardened. The game promises a dual-approach structure: Grace’s more vulnerable investigative stealth and evidence-gathering contrasts with Leon’s experienced, combat-forward survival, giving players two complementary ways to navigate the new nightmare.

Why the Writing Matters:
Positioned as a “requiem” for Raccoon City and its survivors, the narrative leans heavily on memory, guilt, and the long-term consequences of trauma, both for individuals and for the world shaped by the original incident. Grace’s perspective, as someone who did not live through 1998 but must untangle its cover-ups and lingering conspiracies, lets the script revisit key events through case files, testimonies, and survivor interviews, while Leon’s weary pragmatism adds emotional weight and self-reflection on his past heroism. The dual-protagonist structure makes dialogue and casework central game systems, underlining how writing, testimony, and history are as dangerous and powerful as any virus in this anniversary entry.
