It’s well known by this point that Resident Evil Requiem went through a number of different phases, and was originally set to be a multiplayer title before transitioning into the single-player horror romp that we know today. We started development after the apparent conclusion of Ethan’s story with Resident Evil 7, and what would be the eighth numbered title, Resident Evil Village. We’re thankful that Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil 8 received high praise, but they were written to be somewhat disconnected from the story up through Resident Evil 6. He earlier stated that Resident Evil 9 boasts the larger budget in the franchise to date. Resident Evil Requiem is slated to launch on February 27, 2026 for PS5, PC, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X/S.
