PlayStation’s State of Play made many exciting announcements, including a new trailer for Resident Evil Requiem, which is set to release in just a couple of weeks. This trailer reveals more gameplay footage, including zombies roaming around the streets of Raccoon City, more interactions between Leon and Grace, the reveal of the iconic Raccoon City police station from the second game, and it has also been revealed that Sherry Birkin will make her return alongside Leon in this installment.
Sherry only appeared for a split second; however, it seems she is working as a liaison for Leon while he investigates everything in Raccoon City. 3 new characters are also revealed during this trailer: Victor Gideon, the main antagonist of Requiem, Nathan Dempsey, Grace’s supervisor at the FBI, and Emily, a pale, young, white-haired girl, who seems to be blind, and Grace finds in the Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center.
Leon is also revealed to be infected somehow. It’s not known what kind of infection he has, but it seems that it is part of his investigation, and he is running out of time. We were first teased about this infection after fans took screenshots of Leon’s neck from a previous trailer, which looked to be black and bruised. Now, in this trailer, his infection is fully shown on his hand, which doesn’t bode well for this fan-favorite character; however, it isn’t the first time Leon’s had to deal with being infected.
Release Date Only 2 Weeks Away
Resident Evil Requiem is set to launch on February 27, just a couple of weeks away. I honestly didn’t think Capcom had more to show us and reveal; however, this new trailer that premiered on PlayStation’s State of Play gave us a lot more insight into many details opf the game, as well as clarifying a lot of rumors that fans have been speculating, such as Leon’s infection. Now, I don’t belive Capcom is going to drop any more trailers, given how close the release date is; however, I wouldn’t rule out anything just yet.
Resident Evil Requiem will be available to play on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam. The game is available now to pre-order, with both a standard and deluxe edition available to purchase, as well as pre-order rewards such as the Apocalypse costume for Grace and the Deluxe Edition that will include five bonus costumes, four weapon skins, two screen filters, and two weapon charms. Don’t miss out on the launch for one of the most anticipated games of 2026.
