There is no Resident Evil 9, only Resident Evil Requiem (YouTube)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The game previously known only as Resident Evil<\/a> 9 has finally been revealed and it features a deep cut reference to Resident Evil Outbreak.<\/p>\n

Summer Game Fest 2025 was a very low-key affair, with hardly any new AAA game reveals. There was still lots of interesting looking titles, such as Mortal Shell 2 and Stranger than Heaven, but the biggest title by far was Capcom<\/a>’s Resident Evil Requiem, aka Resident Evil 9<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Technically, the game was announced last summer<\/a> but nothing had been seen of it up till now and even the reveal trailer left a lot more questions than answers\u2026 except when it comes to the release date.<\/p>\n

Requiem will be out on February 27, just a few weeks before the franchise\u2019s 30th anniversary, and the new game is promising a shift in \u2018tone and gameplay\u2019, as well as a return to Racoon City.<\/p>\n

Capcom didn\u2019t detail what the changes would entail but rumours have long suggested the game will be ditching the first person view of the last couple of titles and going back to the traditional third person, over the shoulder view.<\/p>\n

That wasn\u2019t confirmed by the reveal, but it did seem to imply that. As for the tone, it\u2019s hard to say but it appeared to be more serious, when compared to the schlocky, more fantastical nature of Resident Evil Village.<\/p>\n

Resident Evil\u2019s ability to change and evolve is one of the secrets of its success but it was still nice to see the police station from Racoon City again, or at least what\u2019s left of if after the place got nuked at the end of Resident Evil 2.<\/p>\n
