While many of us soldier on with the remakes and VR takes on the Resident
Evil story, Capcom is prepping the next chapter of the story: Resident Evil
Requiem. The sequel was fully revealed as part of Summer Game Fest Live,
kicking off a week(ish) of gaming announcements and release dates.

Intercutting the starting moments of REs of the past, Capcom did a fake-out,
teasing that we'd have to wait a little longer to see Resident Evil Requiem
ΓÇö it turns out they only meant a 30-minute wait.

The teaser trailer raised more questions than answers, teasing locations from
previous games, like Raccoon City ΓÇö and its ruined police department. It
appears the game will follow Grace Ashcroft, as she tries unveil grim
mysteries and, er, gets kidnapped. She's the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft ΓÇö
a Resident Evil character that I do not remember at all.

Capcom confirmed a year ago that veteran director Koshi Nakanishi will lead
what is definitely not the ninth chapter of Resident Evil. (If you don't
count Code Veronica, who even are you?) Nakanishi was involved in the
development of Resident Evil Revelations and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard,
among other Resident Evil titles.

Resident Evil 9 is set to launch on February 27, 2026, but a demo will be
playable in August at Gamescom, so book your tickets for Cologne, Germany.
