A new report about Resident Evil Requiem, aka Resident Evil 9, has revealed a huge surprise Capcom is keeping secret.

The ninth mainline entry in the Resident Evil series is poised to shake up the survival-horror genre on Feb. 27, 2026, with a potent mix of frights, creepy graphics, and shifting perspectives. I checked it out at Summer Game Fest.

Based on the story premise, Grace Ashcroft is the main character, although rumors suggest a familiar face will play a significant role in the game as well. Capcom is likely keeping things close to its chest, so expect many surprises to be revealed in the coming weeks and months leading up to the release.
