New Resident Evil Showcase Set for Thursday, Featuring Fresh Requiem Gameplay Footage

Capcom has officially set the date for its early 2026 showcase, scheduled for January 15 at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET. This Resident Evil Showcase will feature “brand-new gameplay and news” for Resident Evil Requiem, the latest installment in the franchise, which is set to release on February 27. So far, that’s all the details Capcom has shared, leaving fans curious about what other surprises might be in store. Alongside the game, a new Resident Evil movie is in the works, directed by Zach Cregger, known for Weapons and Barbarian, and it’s slated for release this October. As 2026 marks the 30th anniversary of the Resident Evil series, it’s yet to be revealed if Capcom has any special celebrations planned. January is shaping up to be an exciting month for gamers, with the Xbox Developer Direct also happening on January 22, promising updates on titles like Fable and Forza Horizon 6. In Requiem, players will return to Raccoon City as Grace Ashcroft, with the iconic Leon S. Kennedy also making an appearance as a playable character. The game will be available on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch 2 when it launches on February 27.
