Capcom to reveal Resident Evil Requiem details in Jan. 15 showcase

Polygon reports Capcom will reveal new details about Resident Evil Requiem, the next mainline entry in the nearly 30-year-old survival horror franchise, in a Resident Evil Showcase this Thursday.

The showcase will stream on Capcom's YouTube and Twitch channels on Jan. 15 at 2 p.m. PST/5 p.m. EST/10 p.m. GMT and promises brand-new gameplay and other unrevealed details. Requiem is the ninth mainline entry and stars Grace Ashcroft and Leon S. Kennedy as playable protagonists; Capcom says Leon will be "handling business via exhilarating, death-defying action," while Grace "steels herself through spine-tingling survival horror."

There is still plenty to be shown ahead of Requiem's February release: Capcom promised in December more details about the Grace Ashcroft amiibo for the Nintendo Switch 2 edition and a peek at an upcoming Fortnite collaboration, and if Capcom sticks to its long-standing Resident Evil game plan a demo is possible. Resident Evil Requiem will be released on Feb. 27 on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X, and Resident Evil 7 biohazard Gold Edition and Resident Evil Village Gold Edition will also be released on Switch 2 the same day.
