Capcom recently revealed the development philosophy of "Resident Evil: Requiem", revealing how this new work will balance nostalgic elements with innovative content, and hinting that a trial version may be released to the public after its debut at the Cologne Games Exhibition.Director Katsuki Nakamura and producer Madon Kumazawa said in an interview with IGN that the project aims to respect the long history of the series while opening up new areas.

When asked whether the popular characters will return, Nakamura admitted that the development team knew what players expected.He explained that the challenge was to balance new characters, new concepts with characters familiar to old players and Easter eggs. Although it was not specified, it said that players would be "surprised" at the way the game blends classic elements with new plots.

Kumazawa added that while players’ speculations about the return of characters are exciting, the team’s idea for Requiem is not limited to the history of the series.Although the story returns to Raccoon Market, the scene will not be limited to this, and the overlap between the game and the series' 30th anniversary schedule is purely coincidental rather than deliberately creating a commemorative work.He emphasized that this work will be independent rather than a retrospective work.

Capcom said the positive response of the Cologne trial version prompted them to consider opening the demo to a wider audience, but it has not yet been officially announced.With the game introducing a new protagonist, FBI agent Grace Ashcroft, and the return of classic theme elements, the development team sees fan expectations as creative drivers rather than pressures.

As the ninth main work of the series, Resident Evil: Respondence is expected to be available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Windows platforms on February 27, 2026, promising to integrate familiar survival horror foundations and innovative ideas, aiming to attract new players and old fans of the series at the same time.
