The ninth mainline entry follows FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft and agent Leon S. Kennedy as they investigate a series of deaths tied to a mysterious hotel and the legacy of Raccoon City, blending survival horror with action and offering gameplay in both first and third person.
Resident Evil: Requiem, the ninth main installment in Capcom's survival horror saga released in February 2026, presents itself as an ambitious work that seeks to merge the two souls of the series. The plot alternates between the events of FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft, grappling with a personal investigation in a Midwestern hotel, and those of a now-veteran and scarred Leon S. Kennedy.
This narrative duality is reflected in the gameplay: the sections with Grace offer a pure survival horror experience, often in first-person, with tension, scarce resources, and a crafting system, while those with Leon propose more frenetic and spectacular third-person action. Technically, the game, based on the RE Engine, is praised for its visual rendering and performance solidity, although some reviews note a script that is uneven at times and an excess of fan service that undermines narrative cohesion. Overall, Requiem is seen as a solid and entertaining title, capable of engaging both long-time fans and newcomers, even if it fails to reach the excellence of the more acclaimed recent installments.
