A new trailer for Resident Evil Requiem was unveiled during yesterday’s Nintendo Direct. The newly released trailer offers a chilling glimpse into the investigative sequences, terrifying new threats, and the shadowy past of Grace Ashcroft, the protagonist whose fate lies at the heart of this survival horror experience.
Set approximately 30 years after the outbreak in Raccoon City, the events of Resident Evil Requiem are set into motion when a body, the victim of an unidentifiable disease, is discovered in an abandoned hotel. FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft is assigned to the case, but the crime scene is at the very same hotel where her mother died eight years ago.
Grace prepares to finally face the past and makes her way to the scene, but this one case leads to uncovering the hidden truth behind the outbreak in Raccoon City, the biological disaster that shook the world. Will this be the requiem that finally lays the memories of that abhorrent disaster to rest?
Alongside the new footage, Capcom confirmed that a Nintendo Switch 2 version of the title will also launch worldwide on 27 February 2026. This includes the full game, the “Not a Hero” chapter, and all additional DLC. On the same date, Resident Evil 7 Biohazard and Resident Evil Village Gold Editions will also launch on Nintendo Switch 2.
