In the recent past, Capcom unveiled a sneak peek of Resident Evil: Requiem, the latest installment in the popular series. As per Capcom, Requiem boasts an impressive one million “want-to-play” lists on both PSN and Steam. However, one wonders if this figure would have been as substantial had Capcom followed through with their initial idea of making Requiem a multiplayer online game?
In a developer diary posted on Capcom’s official website (as reported by VGC), director Koshi Nakanishi unveiled that the game Resident Evil: Requiem was initially designed to be an online title. However, after developing intriguing ideas for the game, the team decided against their online plans when they found out that fans of the Resident Evil series preferred a single-player experience. Consequently, Requiem was reimagined as a standalone game similar to its eight predecessors.
Looking at the backstory of the game’s title, Requiem, it could be that this is the reason why the character Grace Ashcroft, daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft from the original Resident Evil Outbreak multiplayer game, appears in it. The plot also seems to revisit the storylines from the first three Resident Evil games by setting events back in Raccoon City 30 years after it was destroyed to put an end to the zombie outbreak.
At Capcom Showcase, one of the developers from Requiem shared their perspective on why Leon Kennedy might not suit horror games, such as the latest chapter in the series. Unlike Grace, who is an FBI agent in the game and has some firearm knowledge, Leon isn’t typically associated with survival-focused roles. Given her lack of experience as an action hero, Grace may find it harder to survive compared to Leon.
On February 27, 2026, the latest installment of Resident Evil, titled “Requiem,” will be released for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC platforms. This date is only about a month before the 30th anniversary of the original Resident Evil game.
