- Capcom has revealed new gameplay of Resident Evil Requiem on Japanese TV
- The brand new gameplay section showcases gun fight with the principle protagonist, Grace Ashcroft
- The sport’s advertising and marketing could also be ramping up with The Sport Awards set for December 11
Months after Resident Evil Requiem‘s reveal throughout Geoff Keighley’s Summer time Sport Fest 2025, Capcom has remained very tight-lipped in regards to the upcoming instalment of its action-horror franchise, typically leaving followers annoyed by the advertising and marketing. Nevertheless, that seemingly stops from right here on out.
Throughout a Resident Evil particular program broadcast on Japanese TV (video accessible under), Resident Evil Requiem‘s fight was revealed, with the sport’s fundamental protagonist, Grace Ashcroft, warding off zombies, as noticed by respected leaker AestheticGamer aka Nightfall Golem on X.
For the primary time, Grace Ashcroft could be seen wielding and firing a pistol at a zombie earlier than being bitten and pursued by one other aggressive flesh-eater, in a sequence that is very harking back to these in Resident Evil 2. It highlights Capcom’s apparent makes an attempt to name again to the basic horror expertise that longtime followers are acquainted with the franchise, as we revisit Raccoon Metropolis within the recreation.
Whereas it is possible satisfying for a lot of Resident Evil followers like myself to lastly see some new footage after months of seeing the gameplay demo that includes the sport’s stalker enemy, this reveal’s time and place spotlight how unusual and weird Capcom’s advertising and marketing cycle has been for what’s, arguably, its most anticipated titles in years.

Thankfully, although, the advertising and marketing secrecy could also be coming to an finish, with The Sport Awards 2025 set for December 11 (additionally hosted by Geoff Keighley), and this reveal suggests an even bigger revelation is on the horizon.
Capcom has already confirmed {that a} Resident Evil showcase is about for early 2026, and The Sport Awards 2025 is the final massive stage the place a significant reveal could be very best. Therefore, the possibilities of advertising and marketing going full drive are very possible – except, after all, we find yourself seeing the identical actual content material, once more.
Since Resident Evil Requiem is already open for pre-orders, many would have anticipated to not less than see extra of what the sport has to supply when it comes to its gameplay and mechanics, however that hasn’t been the case.
I am very appreciative of Capcom holding their playing cards near not spoil or reveal an excessive amount of of the expertise earlier than its February 27, 2026, launch, however that does not imply displaying the identical content material for almost all of the sport’s advertising and marketing cycle is okay both.
Though it is occurred in a really unusual method with a reveal seemingly unique on Japanese TV (thoughts you, it is a globally beloved franchise), it is a step in the precise course, and I am assured a significant character reveal is brewing for The Sport Awards, adopted by an intensive gameplay showcase in January.
