Resident Evil Requiem characters, difficulty, collaborations

Capcom just wrapped up its latest Resident Evil Requiem showcase in which it put the spotlight on Resident Evil Requiem, covering topics like the characters, difficulty, and planned collaborations.

Here’s the full roundup:

Resident Evil Showcase 2026

Capcom will host a new Resident Evil Showcase this Thursday, January 15, the company has announced. It will air at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET / 10 PM in the UK / 11 PM in Europe.

Details are light on the moment, but Resident Evil Requiem will naturally be the featured title here. Capcom teases “brand new gameplay and news” for the game.

Resident Evil Requiem showed up at The Game Awards 2025 with a new trailer, revealing that Leon will indeed be featured in the game.

Leon will be playable alongside Grace. While Grace focuses on survival horror, when you play on Leon, it’ll be more about action – complete with his chainsaw.

An accidental leak has revealed the existence of a major character in Resident Evil Requiem. Spoilers lie ahead.

The news here steams from the PlayStation Store. An updated piece of key art has been discovered, which reveals the existence of the character. We’ll be getting into this more after the break, so this is your last spoiler warning.

Did you know that Resident Evil Requiem has a different boxart on Nintendo Switch 2? And yes, that literally only applies to Nintendo’s console – the design is uniform elsewhere.

Here’s a look at the boxart for the standard edition across Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series:

Resident Evil Requiem Nintendo Switch 2 controller, Grace Ashcroft amiibo revealed

Some major news has just dropped for Resident Evil Requiem, including a special Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller and a Grace Ashcroft amiibo.

The controller is due out alongside the game on February 27, 2026, and we have a look at it above. It features inworld newspaper articles from the game.

If you watched the most recent Nintendo Direct, you likely saw the news that Capcom is bringing not one, but three Resident Evil games to Nintendo Switch 2 early next year. The system will be getting Resident Evil 7, Village, and Requiem at the same time.

Capcom’s Masato Kumazawa has now spoken about what went into that decision as part of a recent interview. That discussion reveals that the company first prototyped Resident Evil Village on Nintendo Switch 2, and after seeing the positive results, wanted to try porting Requiem. Capcom felt the results there were also promising, and decided to throw in Resident Evil 7 as well. Having them all ready at the same time made sense for Capcom so that players could “just jump in” and start at 7 or with the series’ newest entry.

One of the standout games from the latest Nintendo Direct, Resident Evil Requiem has been receiving widespread praise on social media after its handheld gameplay on the Nintendo Switch 2 was showcased (you can check out the full details here). Following the announcement of the game for the new console, the developers shared insights on bringing Requiem to the system, saying the studio was impressed with the hardware and that it “just made sense.”

There’s an interesting tidbit about the newly-revealed Nintendo Switch 2 version of Resident Evil Requiem, which is that it looks like this version will be cheaper compared to other consoles.

Capcom just announced plans to bring the horror game over to Nintendo’s latest platform during a Direct last week. Retailers have now started putting up listings – which gives us a look at the price point.
