Alright, imagine this: a jam-packed Summer Game Fest, fans on the edge of their seats, just waiting for that next big announcement. And then, boom! Capcom drops the mic with Resident Evil Requiem. Just the name gives me chills, you know? Anyway, what caught my eye – or maybe my imagination – was this whole thing about returning to a trashed Raccoon City. It’s like, are we going back to the roots, or what?
Oh, and talk about drama! Halfway through, they had us all fooled, right? They acted like there was zilch to reveal. I mean, come on! But at the last minute, they rolled out the big guns. So, ‘Resident Evil Requiem.’ Sounds all mysterious, like something out of a ghost story, doesn’t it? And the trailer? Oof, it was creepy as heck. Psychological horror all the way. Kind of feels like that old saying, “Sometimes the scariest place is your own mind.” Or maybe I just made that up.
Now, switching gears a bit – the whole first-person thing. Remember RE7? They flipped the script with that. Total game-changer. Ethan Winters, with his blank-slate vibe, took us to some seriously claustrophobic places. I got chills just thinking about it. Then came Village with all its crazy werewolves and vampires. Who would’ve thunk? Anyway, Requiem’s apparently got this new lead, Grace Ashcroft. FBI and all that jazz. I bet there’s gonna be some wild twists – something about her mom being involved before? Yeah, classic Resident Evil tangents.
Now to another thing– Capcom’s been on a roll with bold moves. They nail that mix between panic mode and adrenaline. With Requiem, it sounds like they’re sneaking up on us with a more subtle kind of fear. I kinda dig it. Though, real talk, I’m still wondering how all this fits with the old Resident Evil lore. Like, will we see familiar faces again? Leon? Jill? They’re teasing us, and I’m all in.
So, 2026, huh? It’s kicking off strong with this one. We’ll probably get bits and pieces revealed as time goes by. Until then, all eyes on Grace as she leads us through whatever mind-bending stuff they’ve cooked up. Feels like it’s going to be one wild ride. And hey, here’s hoping they sprinkle some of that classic Resident Evil magic in there, too. Because nothing beats a good ol’ Raccoon City comeback, am I right?
