Capcom has revealed that its upcoming survival horror game Resident Evil Requiem is in development for Nintendo Switch 2.
Set approximately 30 years after the outbreak in Raccoon City, this new era of survival horror will challenge young FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft to escape from the horrors that surround her and confront the tragic memories that surround the death of her mother, Alyssa Ashcroft.
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Raccoon City: Return once again to the city of disaster and despair. A midwestern city in the United States and the headquarters for the former global pharmaceutical company, Umbrella. In the face of the zombie outbreak in 1998, the government approved a sterilisation operation, a missile strike on the city in an attempt to quickly bring the situation under control—but this was swiftly covered up.
- Grace Ashcroft: An intelligence analyst for the FBI who demonstrates intense focus and insight in deductive reasoning and analysis. Her mother’s death shook her to the soul, making her an introvert who immerses herself in work. So she heads to the abandoned hotel alone to investigate this mysterious death.
- Gameplay: Experience the series’ classic survival horror through combat, investigations, puzzles, and resource management. Gameplay allows you to freely switch between first and third-person views to face the horrors in a way that suits your playstyle.
Resident Evil Requiem will be released at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 worldwide on 27 February 2026.
