Step into a chilling, next-generation survival horror on Xbox Series X with Resident Evil Requiem. As the ninth mainline entry, this chapter redefines the series with a tightly wound mystery, a haunted Midwestern setting, and pulse-pounding fear that lingers long after the credits roll. When a body afflicted by a mysterious disease is found in an abandoned hotel, the case pulls FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft into a labyrinth of past traumas and dangerous secrets that could rewrite what you think you know about Raccoon City.
A fresh, visceral perspective anchors the experience. Grace Ashcroft isn’t a front-line soldier—she’s a sharp, analytical mind whose deductive reasoning drives the investigation. Her personal history with the city’s darkest chapter adds emotional weight to every clue you uncover, every hallway you explore, and every shadow you chase. This isn’t just about surviving the horror; it’s about piecing together the truth behind the outbreak that reshaped the world.
Two iconic viewpoints, one relentless game. Resident Evil Requiem lets you tailor your approach by seamlessly switching between first-person and third-person perspectives. If you crave immersive action and a visceral sense of danger, lean into the close-quarters combat and environmental tension of first-person. If you prefer a broader view for investigation, puzzles, and precise resource management, switch to third-person to plan your moves with confidence. The choice is yours, and the balance between modes enhances every encounter, from tense chases to methodical deductions.
Return to Raccoon City—the infamous setting you’ve known from early chapters returns in a way that honors the franchise’s history while pushing the narrative forward. This is the first mainline entry since Resident Evil 3 to revisit the city’s core, where the echoes of Umbrella’s past still cast long shadows over the present. Expect location-driven storytelling, environmental storytelling, and a sense of history that makes every room, alley, and facility feel loaded with meaning.
What makes this survival horror standout:
- Nine installments of atmosphere brought to life on next-gen hardware: Expect richly detailed environments, dynamic lighting, and sound design that make every corridor feel alive with menace.
- Investigative gameplay built into survival horror: Gather clues, analyze evidence, and connect dots to unlock secrets behind the outbreak—the mystery isn’t just in combat, it’s in the data you uncover.
- Resource management that respects your playstyle: conserve ammo, assess threats, and choose when to engage or retreat. Puzzles and exploration reward clever planning as much as quick reflexes.
- Character-driven storytelling: Grace’s personal stakes—her mother’s death, the pull of the past—anchor the horror in human drama, making every decision feel consequential.
- Authentic survival horror pacing: a careful rhythm of investigative sequences, tense chases, and puzzle-solving that keeps adrenaline steady without sacrificing narrative depth.
