It appears that the first screenshots for Resident Evil 9, Resident Evil Requiem, have been leaked online. These screenshots show the main protagonist, Grace Ashcroft, an enemy, and some of the game’s environments.
Resident Evil: Requiem will use the powerful RE Engine, and it looks amazing. It’s a single-player survival horror game. You’ll play as Grace Ashcroft, and your goal is to stay alive in a terrifying adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
The devs say that thanks to new technology and their years of experience, the game will have deep characters and super immersive gameplay that pulls you into the story like never before.
The leaker also shared some new details about the game. However, I suggest taking them with a grain of salt. At least for now.
The leaker claimed that this info comes from a 30-minute demo that Capcom showed to the press. In that demo, the devs showcase the game with first-person and third-person perspectives. In other words, this RE game may support both first-person and third-person modes. This is also something that Steam hinted when the game’s store page went live. Capcom had originally included the “FPS” tag, which it then removed.
In the demo, Grace walked around opening doors and turning on lights. Some type of monster took a bite out of her shoulder and she healed with a syringe. She did not use any spray to heal herself, like the classic RE games.
There are rumors that RE: Requiem will have two main characters. One of them is Grace. The other might be Leon S. Kennedy. This has also been hinted at by the well-known insider, Dusk Golem.
Capcom will release Resident Evil Requiem on February 27th, 2026. Some preview articles may go live later this week. We might also get more news or screenshots for it at Gamescom 2025.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

That creature straight up looks horrifying and I'm not looking at whatever entity there is in that hallway. If its first & third person both, man its going to be one hell of a terrifying game. Guys at Capcom really cooking.
I hope it's developed by Capcom Division 1 though, the sub group (I forgot the name) the developed RE3 remake weren't cut out for it.
M2 Co-developed RE3 remake as a lead, which is a supporting backend studio for Capcom. It also worked on RE4 remake but lead team was Division 1. With RE9 I think division 1 is also the main studio in development under Jun takeuchi San. Since it's original new project, it will be good. I think M2 probably would be working as support on rumoured Code Veronica and RE0 Remakes
RE3 is not as bad as people make it out to be.
I didnt know people thought RE3make was bad as much as it was just kinda short and tied up with that multiplayer component. I thought it was a pretty cool but definitely shorter game.
Probably the most pointless remake in a wave of pointless remakes…
Now here comes a crap opinion. One criticism that is deserved is that RE3 feels like an expansion of RE2, both in original and remake, it lost the ambition of previous titles for a quick release date, but aside from that, still an excellent entry.
The game will apparently allow you to switch to 3rd person in the options if you wish.
Third person from the beginning, back to RC, Leon (and by extension Ada). This is looking good.
Ugh, she's not even hot…. plus they made Claire and Jill ugly on the remakes
Don't worry, mods will fix it
They haven’t fixed Tifa in FFVII yet
i always prefer a claustrophobic grounded sandbox backdrop like a hospital or mansion for these games, i like this one so far
Exactly and some pics there, got me thinking about how friKKing awesome Outlast was – one of the best I played. Hope for more 😀
i went through outlast 1 completely blind, and i gotta say it was one of the best scary games that've ever experienced, and the ending where the nanorobot Walrider shoved the Chris walker through the vent after he pursued you for the whole game was pure cinema.
Yeah surely a masterpiece…. so damn scary and well done. Makes we wanna replay it, for the 3 or 4 time 🥳👌
Agreed
Please don't be FPS
Imagine being excited by the 9th game in a franchise so inconsistent like RE, especially with current Capcom
