AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Capcom is hosting a new Resident Evil Showcase on YouTube and Twitch to reveal fresh gameplay and details for Resident Evil Requiem, ahead of its February 27 launch across current-gen platforms and the Nintendo Switch 2.
Capcom is keeping the momentum going for its flagship survival horror franchise with a dedicated broadcast. According to a report by Michael McWhertor on Polygon, the developer is hosting a new Resident Evil Showcase this Thursday to share fresh details on Resident Evil Requiem. Fans can tune into the stream on Capcom's official YouTube and Twitch channels at 2 p.m. PST, 5 p.m. EST, or 10 p.m. GMT. As the ninth mainline entry in a nearly thirty-year-old series, Requiem is positioning itself as a major cross-platform release when it arrives on February 27 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and the Nintendo Switch 2.
The upcoming broadcast promises brand-new gameplay footage focusing on the game's dual protagonists, Grace Ashcroft and Leon S. Kennedy. Capcom has previously noted that the two playable heroes will deliver different gameplay styles, with Leon leaning into high-octane action and Grace focusing on traditional survival horror. With the release date approaching, players are also hoping for a public demo, alongside updates on a planned Fortnite crossover and specific details regarding the Grace Ashcroft amiibo for the Nintendo Switch 2 version.
In addition to the main game, the showcase will likely touch on broader platform rollouts for the franchise. Nintendo Switch 2 owners are getting ports of Resident Evil 7 biohazard Gold Edition and Resident Evil Village Gold Edition launching on the exact same day as Requiem. For a series that continually balances nostalgic appeal with modern hardware capabilities, this upcoming stream should offer a clear picture of how Capcom plans to support its community heading into the spring release window.
