Capcom has shared new details for Resident Evil Requiem in the first previews for their new entry in the survival horror franchise.

The new previews confirm the long-awaited sequel is playable in both first and third person, which you can toggle in its menu, a first for the franchise at launch.

Previous entries in the game were only playable in third person or more recently with Resident Evil 7: biohazard and Resident Evil Village, with the latter adding a third-person mode in post-launch DLC.

Here’s a rundown on the game:

Resident Evil Requiem is the ninth and most immersive mainline entry yet in the iconic survival horror Resident Evil™ series. Powered by RE ENGINE and harnessing the full power of modern consoles, Resident Evil Requiem delivers spine-chilling realism like never before, with complex character details like lifelike facial expressions, realistic skin textures, and even high-fidelity sweat droplets that are sure to keep players on the edge of their seats. Resident Evil Requiem takes the series back to the iconic Raccoon City, home of the biological disaster that shook the world, combining deeply terrifying aspects of psychological horror with pulse-pounding action that franchise fans know and love.

Prepare to escape death in a heart-stopping experience that will chill you to your core.

Resident Evil Requiem features voiceovers and subtitles in English, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, French, Italian, German, Castilian Spanish, Russian, and Mandarin, plus subtitles in Korean, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Arabic, and Polish.

This is just the beginning. More horrors from Resident Evil Requiem will be revealed throughout the year, including the first public playable at Gamescom 2025. A new era of survival horror begins in 2026. Will you survive it?

Resident Evil Requiem is in development for Windows PC (via Steam), Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a release set for February 27th, 2026.
