Information about a 30-minute demo of Resident Evil Requiem has been unintentionally shared online before Capcom planned to do so. This information was intended to remain hidden for a bit longer. Although XboxEra quickly took down the leaked material, some significant details were successfully saved by internet users. These details could potentially signal a major transformation within the series.
Based on leaks, it appears that in Resident Evil Requiem, we may begin playing in a first-person perspective, much like in Resident Evil 7 and Village. However, later on, the game will transition to the conventional third-person view. Notably, players will have the freedom to switch between these two camera modes, similar to the Winters’ Expansion for the eighth installment.
If verified, Capcom will merge two distinct viewpoints within their games based on the title, offering a one-of-a-kind blended experience to players. This fusion not only appeases fans from both schools of thought but also adds variety to the game’s tempo and ambiance.
Not only did the post unveil some surprises, but it also disclosed that during the broadcast, the creators of Requiem declared a future feature: players will have the opportunity to command another playable character, notably one who is already recognized, equipped with an impressive collection of weapons. Although the specific character hasn’t been named as of yet, a trusted source in the industry, Dusk Golem, has given us a hint that it could potentially be Leon S. Kennedy.
For several years, there have been whispers about the development of “Resident Evil 9“, but it wasn’t until Summer Game Fest 2025 that Capcom confirmed its existence. The game is scheduled for release on February 27, 2026, giving fans a chance to ponder and speculate before jumping back into the terrifying world of survival horror.
