Capcom Set to Reveal New Resident Evil Requiem Gameplay This Week
Capcom is preparing to unveil brand-new gameplay from Resident Evil Requiem, and it could finally answer some of the game’s biggest unanswered questions. A Resident Evil Showcase is scheduled to stream later this week, with Capcom promising fresh gameplay footage and new details as launch now sits just weeks away. The showcase airs Thursday, January 15, at 2 PM Pacific / 5 PM Eastern, followed by a post-show discussion on Capcom’s official YouTube channel. The timing alone suggests there’s a lot to reveal. We already know Leon S. Kennedy is returning, but several major questions remain — including whether Resident Evil Requiem could feature partially open or more explorable environments. Earlier this month, an Nvidia trailer quietly showed a dense city environment filled with cars and pedestrians, something rarely seen in the Resident Evil series. The footage appeared far more open than expected, sparking debate over whether it was a scripted sequence or a glimpse at broader exploration. Capcom’s showcase artwork has also drawn attention to a specific handgun featured prominently in promotional material, loaded with distinctive red-tipped bullets. Director Koshi Nakanishi has previously hinted that this weapon plays a key role in the story and may even change hands between Leon and Grace. Fans are also watching closely for clues about gameplay balance, the return of classic characters, and the mysterious mark seen on Leon’s neck. There’s also lingering speculation surrounding a reported GameStop leak suggesting Rosemary Winters could appear something Capcom has neither confirmed nor denied. With Resident Evil Requiem launching on February 27, this showcase feels like Capcom’s final major opportunity to lay everything on the table. If there’s an open-world twist this is where we’ll see it. Follow ABGN Media across platforms for daily gaming news, updates, and highlights.
