At Gamescom 2025, NVIDIA had a playable demo for the PC version of Resident Evil Requiem with Path Tracing. Resident Evil Requiem is the first game using the RE Engine that supports Path Tracing, and below you can find two gameplay videos from that demo.
These gameplay videos come from Jackfrags and DigitalFoundry. Both of them were invited by NVIDIA to play the PC demo, and they have captured some gameplay footage from it. As such, we get to see the path-traced version of this new RE game in its full glory.
Resident Evil Requiem will be 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 with new technology and their experience, the game will have strong characters and really immersive gameplay. This new RE game aims to pull you into the story more than ever before. Players will also return to Raccoon City.
The concept for this game was “addictive fear“. Since horror is one of the most important aspects of the series, the devs wanted to make this fear factor a key feature of the gameplay. As such, Grace will learn to overcome her fears throughout the course of the story.
The game will be set 30 years after the missile strike on Raccoon City. As the devs noted, Resident Evil is tied to both Umbrella and Raccoon City. And that’s why they wanted to go back to the outbreak.
Capcom will release Resident Evil Requiem on February 27th, 2026. NVIDIA and Capcom have not yet revealed any PC requirements for it. Once we get them, we’ll be sure to share them with you.
Stay tuned for more!

Can I turn it off? I reproted these videos as terrorism.
What a bunch of nothing , this series is a laughing stock now getting used to generate money from brainless tourists who buy it for the name sake and not for the history of the series its like beating a dead horse
i cant think of anyone who played resident evil for the darkness and the mirrors and running way from monsters. Seriously AAA games focus on the wrong things.
I played through RE Village with invincibility and unlimited ammo cheats. This allowed me to focus on enjoying the visuals and story.
This sh*t has nothing to do with RE. Boring hide and seek, this is the aftermath of games focus on female only. Also the animations when they talk is super bizzare, when you focus on the graphics it looks like a ps4 title. Not impressed at all.
Grace it's just Rose character from RE8 with glasses, different make up.
Lazy a$5 Crapcom.
Looks great. We don't need to be negative about everything 🙂
RE series were for me a zombie game.. nowadays its mutants, demons, paranormal sh*t
Gotta say though, I dont see anything new here, since RE7 it seems the continuation of RE is stuck in a loop of doing the same stuff over and over again, guess thats why they went back and remake the classics they are just doing a bunch of crap for the name sake and getting money from people who drool over the name.
Looks nice! Just need to adjust that FOV (guessing there will be slider or cmd), and we good!
It looks a lot better than I expected. Though the bar was pretty low after the last couple of RE games. Not a fan of the headache inducing FOV in the 1st Person view though.
