Capcom’s Most Ambitious Project Yet
According to trusted leaker Dusk Golem, also known as AestheticGamer1, Resident Evil Requiem is Capcom’s biggest budget game ever. That’s a bold claim, especially considering how massive and polished their recent titles like Resident Evil Village and Monster Hunter: World have been.
In a recent post on X, Dusk Golem revealed that Capcom is putting everything into this next mainline Resident Evil. It’s not just another sequel—it’s a major project that’s been in the works since the days of Resident Evil 7. If true, it means the game has been in development for several years already.
From Concept to Requiem: A Long Road
Resident Evil Requiem didn’t always look like the game we’re seeing now. Dusk Golem mentioned that it originally went through changes based on how Resident Evil 7 was received. Once that game proved successful, Capcom shifted direction and built something bigger and more refined for Requiem.
We now know that Requiem follows a new lead character—FBI agent Grace Ashcroft. She’s the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft, the protagonist from the Outbreak File #2 spinoff. Grace is investigating strange murders, but there’s a strong hint she won’t be alone. Leon Kennedy is rumored to play a part in the story, though that hasn’t been confirmed yet.
Hyped Reveal at Summer Game Fest
The game had its grand debut at the end of Summer Game Fest 2024, instantly capturing fans’ attention. While many details are still under wraps, fans are excited about the tone, scale, and potential direction of the story. With a February 27, 2026, release date set for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, the countdown is officially on.
If Resident Evil Requiem really is Capcom’s biggest budget game, expectations will be sky-high. But with a lead like Grace, possible Leon Kennedy involvement, and years of development behind it, the series might be heading toward its most intense chapter yet.
