Capcom announces Resident Evil Showcase, going live this week

Ahead of Resident Evil Requiem’s much-anticipated launch on the 27th of February, Capcom has been slowly but surely teasing out new bits of information regarding the upcoming sequel – with the publisher confirming that they would be hosting a dedicated RE showcase in early 2026. With Resident Evil Requiem a little over one month away now, Capcom has confirmed that the showcase will go live this Thursday, the 15th of January.

Making the announcement via a brief teaser trailer, Capcom confirmed that they will be hosting a Resident Evil Showcase on Thursday the 15th of January at 2PM PT (10PM UK time).

While very little was offered in the way of details (aside from confirmation that the showcase will focus on the upcoming Requiem) the brief trailer did tease the fact that players will now be able to aim down sights with their weapons when playing in first person – a welcome change when compared to previous entries.

Regardless, Resident Evil Requiem looks set to be one of the best entries in the series yet, both in terms of game mechanics but also narrative and so it will be exciting to see what else Capcom is planning to show off during the showcase.
