Brace yourselves for the incredible journey back to Raccoon City as Resident Evil™ Requiem, the ninth mainline entry in the iconic survival horror Resident Evil™ series, launches today across PlayStation®5, Nintendo Switch™ 2, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, Epic Games Store, and GeForce NOW. Experience exhilarating, death-defying action and spine-tingling survival horror with the fate of two protagonists – Grace Ashcroft and Leon S. Kennedy – as you freely swap between first-person perspective for deeper immersion, and third-person perspective for more dynamic action for the first time in the series, whenever you’d like.

Set 30 years after the Raccoon City Incident, Resident Evil Requiem follows FBI intelligence analyst Grace Ashcroft assigned to investigate a string of mysterious deaths in the same place where her mother was murdered eight years prior. When a police officer goes missing at the hotel, Legendary DSO agent Leon S. Kennedy is also dispatched to the scene. As Grace and Leon’s paths converge, they must face their pasts and uncover the truth behind the Raccoon City Incident that changed the world forever. But while the terrors of their memories echo in their minds, will they relive the nightmare…or finally offer up a requiem for the dead?
