Mark Your Calendars, 12 Minutes of Pure Survival Horror Awaits on January 15

Capcom just pulled the curtain on a surprise Resident Evil Showcase, streaming Thursday, January 15, 2026, at 2:00 PM PST (Pacific Standard Time)/ 5:00 PM ET / 10:00 PM GMT for global fans. Clocking in at a tight 12 minutes on YouTube and Twitch (English/Japanese streams), it’ll dish brand-new gameplay footage and “previously unreleased information” for Resident Evil Requiem, the ninth mainline entry dropping February 27, 2026, on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC (Steam). With over 10 million views on its TGA reveal trailer and X ablaze, this is Capcom’s final hype blast before Raccoon City’s ruins swallow us whole. Narrated by Takeuchi (a Requiem voice star), expect Leon’s tomahawk parries, Grace’s panic dives, and zombie axe-wielders, because nothing says “welcome back” like environmental weapons.

What to Expect: Leon, Grace, and Raccoon City’s Nightmarish Encore

The teaser trailer, watch it here YouTube, hints at shadowy chases and first/third-person switches, spotlighting Grace Ashcroft (FBI analyst, Ethan’s successor with “more feelings” and visible terror) and Leon S. Kennedy (grizzled vet with tomahawk parries and RE1 Remake vibes). Director Koshi Nakanishi’s breakdown promises story teases (saga-ender?), mechanics (multi-ammo Magnums, armed zombies), and post-show Capcom USA chat/giveaways (RE4 Collector’s Edition). X hype: “Leon older, isolated, darker than Village!”

Resident Evil Requiem: Raccoon City’s Claustrophobic Comeback

Set 30 years post-Raccoon nuke, Requiem recaptures RE2 Remake‘s tension: tight corridors, RPD ruins, Grace/Leon tag-teaming Umbrella’s endgame. First/third-person hybrid lets you embody Grace’s screams (third-person) or Leon’s knife-fights (first). RE Engine delivers ray-traced fog, DualSense haptics for groans, and 12-15 hour runtime. Pre-order bonuses: Grace’s Apocalypse outfit. ESRB Mature (blood, gore, etc.).
