Playing Leon in Resident Evil Requiem Is a Kickass Catharsis
- On January 26, 2026, Mashable reporter Alex Perry published a preview of Resident Evil: Requiem, confirming its February 27, 2026 release on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2.
- Capcom designed Resident Evil: Requiem to avoid Resident Evil 6's fragmented campaigns by switching playable characters based on story location, while asking to keep story details minimal during previews.
- Leon’s sections are shorter, linear third-person action pieces with chainsaw and hand-axe use, while Grace’s longer segments focus on puzzles, exploration, scarce ammo, and shove-style melee.
- In a three-hour demo, Alex Perry found the dual-protagonist structure made a strong first impression and left him confident Capcom can satisfy both classic-horror and action-oriented fans.
- Inside the game's setting of a twisted medical institution, enemy placement guides player choices without limiting options, while replaying areas in less scary perspectives offers catharsis and could influence future design.
