aAggressively win addictive summer game fest – Onimusha: The Way of Swords, a stranger than heavenand P: The Overture’s Lie Shadow Drop – the event finally hit us with something big. Resident Evil 9Officially known as Resident Evil Requiemauthentic and has a release date of February 27, 2026 for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC.
It’s funny that after all the rumours that Leon is the main character, the first trailer begins with the almost completely unknown Grace Ashcroft. A Federal Bureau of Investigation agent, she peers into a fresh death. Of course, resident evil, It’s always a code of “probably nothing good.” After being called to her boss’s office, Grace is asked to investigate another murder at the Lenwood Hotel. The only problem is that her mother, Alyssa, is in the same place where she was murdered eight years ago.

After a flashback snatch showing Alyssa including a hooded individual, Grace is tied up to a gurney and apparently hung on the wall. He then cuts into a voice telling her “stay near me” and “they’re coming.” The mystical individual, sitting next to the greenery of an aged home, speaks of what this Ashcroft is “special” and “chosen ones” he is looking for.

From there we are taken to a familiar scene: Ground Zero in Raccoon City. Following the outbreak during the event of Resident Evil 2there are several buildings that include huge craters and an old RPD station. Other notable lines by unknown characters are heard, but the clearest lines are those of women who say, “Know that you are my hope,” and those of children who say, “Everyone is gone.” Perhaps the grace that saved her what happened follows, following scenes from the past before Alyssa’s death?
Things escalate even more when the man bleed to the floor and someone screamed to leave him. From the trap door on the ceiling, a caterpillar appears on the floor of the hallway (a horse statue can be seen on the edge). The unknown person is suffocated by a hooded person and then appears to have been overcome by something, perhaps the same illness, which is likely to torment other cases. Later, we see a woman walking down the hallway in what appears to be a medical room divider, but the place doesn’t look like a hospital. Before the title falls we see a mutated human and hear the rattle of the chain. He may be the same person who has descended into the hallway for a while.
There’s a lot to analyze from all of this, but it’s worth looking into the official website that includes “Requiem for the Dead. A Nightmare Life.” Incidentally, Requiem is a music service to honor the dead. The developers must then bully players, saying, “You will need to prepare to escape death with the experience of stopping your mind cooling you to your core,” and “A new era of survival begins in 2026.” It seems to have affected the 9th rumor at first glance resident evil We conclude the ongoing story and the transition to the next game. This will be a soft restart that is no longer numbered.
The press release outlines how RE Engine can leverage the latest consoles to provide realistic facial expressions, skin textures and even “sweat droplets of fidelity” as seen on Grace. Of course, we’ve fully confirmed that fans will return to Raccoon City to combine “the deep, scary side of psychological horror with the pulse-pound action that franchise fans know and love.”
Aerial shots of Raccoon City may make you think of a more open world style setting, but that’s probably not the case. Insider aesthetic gamer, aka Dusk Golem, claimed that the open-world version of the game with multiplayer was in work before it rebooted in 2021. resident evil village. Whether this is true or not, open-level structures are not the most bizarre. It can evolve very well in its predecessor structure, offering more freedom while adhering to classics resident evil It’s a formula, but it has more immersive gameplay.
Grace is a wildcard of sorts, especially since all the rumors so far have shown that Leon is the main character. Of course, it’s worth noting that the developers didn’t fully confirm that Grace was the only character. This is not to say that this is something to be confirmed at this stage. The misdirection is nothing new to the development team – see Chris’ bullying Resident Evil Villagehe will ultimately be playable, albeit in a short time. But you have to believe that Leon is playable – and according to the Dusk Golem, he was present in this very trailer – the developers will hold it as a big surprise.
I am interested in Grace’s involvement for her mother, Alyssa. She was playable Resident Evil Outbreaksurvived the bombing of Raccoon City, so I will continue to write about the revelations about the role of Umbrella USA in it. There’s even a news report Resident Evil 7: Resident Evil Various losses (same as caused by the Baker family). But for all intents and purposes, Alyssa is a minor character. Perhaps she’s a connection to something much larger that could include Leon and other elements of Raccoon City.
I also want to believe that the monster seen in the trailer is Alyssa – this is pure speculation. Perhaps the “Requiem” part of the title is related to what is likely to be related to Grace, and ultimately it has been dependent on her mother’s confronting trauma for several years. We will also explain the “living nightmare” part of the catchphrase. After all, what is worse for grace than seeing Alyssa in such a mutation and in a terrible state?
Judging by the trailer, players could also enter the past and experience the event from Alyssa’s perspective to add more intrigue, reinforcing the survival horror aspect. Then there is the part where Grace gets injured and bandaged. Tied to an IV tube and gurney on her right arm, she shows her being manipulated alongside a room that looks like a fake hospital before. But was this about healing her or modifying her body in some way? In addition to this, there is a mysterious figure sitting next to the plant. If you look closely at his arms, it appears he is wearing a leather jacket and gloves that are quite similar to Albert Wesker’s outfit. Even the collar is a strong match. However, his physical appearance and voice do not match at all, so perhaps this is a more misdirection from the developer.
To conclude that all, the PlayStation blog points out that survival horror takes “center stage” Requiem However, it also features “high-stakes film action that guides the series in a bold new direction.” I can’t help but think about “escaping” in that respect. Also, how could it lead to a gameplay loop in a way that the series has never seen before? Also, before there were concerns about potential extraction mechanics, the developers confirmed that it is a single-player title. With GamesCom you will have to wait for playable details, but if “9” is any indication instead of “Q” in Reciem, then you will only have questions leading up to its release.
