Resident Evil Requiem: SHOCKING Reveals Coming Thursday?!

Resident Evil Requiem: SHOCKING Reveals Coming Thursday?!
Gaming News 13 January 2026

Alright, Resident Evil fans, mark your calendars! It looks like Capcom is finally ready to pull back the curtain a little further on the highly anticipated *Resident Evil Requiem*. After months of speculation and carefully curated teases, they've just announced a dedicated showcase scheduled for this Thursday, January 15th, at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET. That's practically around the corner!

Resident Evil Requiem: SHOCKING Reveals Coming Thu...

The showcase will be streamed live on Capcom's official Twitch channel, so set those reminders now. And for those who like a little preview, they’ve also dropped a short teaser trailer which, honestly, doesn't give much away, but it's enough to get the blood pumping. The accompanying YouTube description promises "brand new gameplay and news" for *Resident Evil Requiem*. That’s what we want to hear!

Now, the really interesting thing is that Capcom's website specifies a runtime of only 12 minutes. Twelve minutes! That's not a lot of time in the grand scheme of things. While the event is being billed as a general "Resident Evil Showcase," that limited timeframe makes me think the primary focus will undoubtedly be *Requiem*. Could there be a *tiny* teaser for something else? Possibly. But I wouldn't hold my breath. Twelve minutes is probably just enough to squeeze in a new trailer, maybe a quick word from the developers, and hopefully, a solid chunk of gameplay footage.

The confirmation that Leon S. Kennedy will be playable, revealed in a glorious Game Awards trailer, was a huge win for fans. But there are still so many questions swirling around. What’s the story *really* about? How does Grace, the other protagonist, fit into everything? What new horrors are lurking in the shadows? And, perhaps most importantly, how will this game build upon (or deviate from) the established Resident Evil formula? I'm personally hoping for a deeper dive into the environments and enemy design. Capcom has always excelled at crafting truly unsettling atmospheres, and I’m eager to see what they've cooked up this time.

Thankfully, we don't have too long to wait to get at least some of those answers. This Thursday, all eyes will be on Capcom's Twitch channel. And you can be sure that we'll be here, ready to break down every detail and dissect every frame of the *Resident Evil Requiem* showcase. Until then, stay tuned, and try not to have *too* many nightmares. February is coming!
