Have you readjusted your calendar and braced your nerves for the new nightmare Capcom has in store for its upcoming horror game? If so, we’ve got good news: you can now pre-order Resident Evil Requiem Save 18% when you buy from Fanatical. For a series that rarely goes cheap (both emotionally and financially) on release, this is quite welcome.
Resident Evil Requiem returns to the series’ core premise: traumatized heroes forced into situations that therapists would never accept. Capcom is still keeping the finer story beats in the shadows, but early previews suggest a moodier, more psychological descent than some of its past offerings. Think about it. Gothic hallways, bio-organic abominations sculpted from your deepest intrusive thoughts, and of course, “Did I leave the stove on, or is there a monster breathing behind me?” atmosphere.
Visually, Requiem appears to push the RE Engine into darker, brighter territory than ever before. It’s clear that Capcom’s animators have taken an unholy drug that makes them good at expressing sweat. Because every claustrophobic close-up looks ready to be possessed by a dream. When it comes to combat, Capcom seems to be blending Resident Evil 2 Remake’s deliberate tension with Village’s more flexible inventory controls, and you’ll probably end up dying in beautiful and original ways.
For those who have been following the series for years (or for those who simply love screaming at a monitor while sprinting through bloody hallways), Requiem is shaping up to be a strong entry into the modern RE Renaissance. With the current cost of living, it’s not bad to take advantage of the 18% discount and drop the price from $69.99 / £59.99 to $57.39 / £49.19.
The release date for Resident Evil Requiem is Friday, February 27, 2026. It is unclear how long this sale will be available. Therefore, if you are planning to buy the game, we recommend that you do so early, as it would be a shame to end up paying the full price.
