Capcom has prepared a very special treat for Resident Evil fans this Halloween. During a recently released trailer recapping Resident Evil's history, Capcom has announced that pre-orders are live for Resident Evil: Requiem for home consoles and PC.
On top of that, Capcom has announced details regarding the game's special editions, pre-order bonuses, and much more.
First and foremost, you can now pre-order the game at your favorite online and local retailers for the following platforms: Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
Additionally, there will be two special editions of the game and a pre-order bonus to purchase alongside the Standard Edition.
Standard Edition: | Only contains the base game. |
Deluxe Edition: | The base game, 5 costumes, 4 weapon skins, 2 charms, 2 screen filters, a custom sound pack, and additional in-game files. |
Steelbook Deluxe Edition: | Same content as the Deluxe Edition with the added bonus of a Premium steelbook case and a Lenticular Card. |
Collector's Edition (Japan-only): | Same content as the Steelbook Deluxe Edition, with the added bonus of an acrylic stand and a slip-on collector's box. |
Pre-ordering the game will grant you access to a special DLC costume called 'Apocalypse', which is no doubt a reference to the Resident Evil: Apocalypse movie.
Next up, Capcom has a list of announcements regarding the game's Nintendo Switch 2 port.
Capcom has collaborated with Nintendo to release a Resident Evil amiibo of Grace Ashcraft in 2026 and a Resident Evil: Requiem themed Nintendo Switch 2 Pro controller for February 27, 2026.
Additionally, the Nintendo Switch 2 will receive the Resident Evil Generation Pack in 2026, which bundles together Resident Evil 7: biohazard Gold Edition, Resident Evil Village Gold Edition, and Resident Evil: Requiem.
Capcom then rounds its announcements up by stating that Resident Evil: Requiem will have a collaboration with Fortnite to celebrate Resident Evil's debut on the Epic Games Store.
By ordering the game on the Epic Games Store, you will receive a Grace Ashcroft costume to use in Fortnite after the game releases.
Are you ready to return to Racoon City for its requiem?
If my colleague, Jez Corden's preview of Resident Evil: Requiem is anything to go by, this game is shaping up to be Resident's darkest entry yet, both figuratively and literally.
It has a somber yet horrifying setting as we're returning to Raccoon City decades after it was blown to ruins at the end of Resident Evil 3, and the nightmarish monsters you will encounter will require the use of lights to drive them away, as bullets will not save you this time.
I enjoyed my fair share of Resident Evil games over the years (my favorite being the Resident Evil HD Remaster), so I can't wait to see new horrors await us when Resident Evil: Requiem launches on February 27, 2026.
