On August 19, Resident Evil enthusiasts should keep a close watch on developments for Resident Evil Requiem. The game is set to release on February 27, 2026, and will provide players the choice of a first-person or third-person perspective, blending historic gameplay with modern mechanics.

Resident Evil Requiem was initially showcased at the Summer Game Fest and confirmed to include Grace Ashcroft as a playable character, alongside a nostalgic return to the ruined Raccoon City. The upcoming Gamescom 2025 Opening Night Live on August 19 will likely spotlight significant updates, with Geoff Keighley as the host. While the game’s presence is anticipated, its confirmation during the event remains unguaranteed, yet the show’s history suggests we might get exciting announcements.

Stay tuned for potential trailers and further revelations that could clear up ongoing rumors, including speculation about game characters like Leon S. Kennedy possibly being involved.
