New Resident Evil Requiem Report Leaves Fans Worried About the Game

by

A fresh update concerning “Resident Evil Requiem” is likely to bring excitement for some “Resident Evil” enthusiasts, but it’s stirring up concern in others. The upcoming “Resident Evil” game, marking the first mainline release since “Resident Evil Village”, is scheduled for global distribution on February 27, 2026, exclusively for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X systems. However, it appears Capcom might be deliberately omitting this ‘current-gen only’ detail to create a certain impression.

Based on recent information from a reputable Resident Evil source known as Dusk Golem, it appears that Resident Evil Requiem is being developed for the Nintendo Switch 2. This isn’t entirely shocking, given that Resident Evil Village was previously released on the Nintendo Switch a few years ago. What is somewhat unexpected, however, is that Resident Evil Requiem might also be releasing on PS, which will be approximately 13 years old by the time Requiem releases in the future. It’s worth noting that Resident Evil Village was initially launched on PS4 back in 2021, but the PS5 was newer at that time, and it was typical for games to come out on PS4 instead. However, as we approach 2025 and beyond, it’s not common practice for games to be released on PS4 anymore, so if Resident Evil Requiem arrives on PS4 next year, that would be an unusual move.

What’s the Issue?

For those who are yet to upgrade their consoles and are still using PS4, there’s a lot of them out there as it still boasts millions of active users monthly – and here’s some good news! However, there’s a buzz among fans about how this may affect the game’s ambition. Even though developers are accustomed to adapting the technical aspects of games for platforms with varying capabilities, it’s a different story when considering game design. If Resident Evil Requiem is indeed coming to PS4, that means Capcom had to consider its constraints in every aspect of the game’s design. This doesn’t necessarily mean the game will be compromised due to these limitations, but fans have good reason for concern.

One Resident Evil enthusiast laments, “It’s a bummer they’re still limiting what could be achieved by using outdated technology.” Another fan questions, “If this is the most ambitious Resident Evil game yet, why can it run on PS4 and Switch 2?

Well, I must admit, the rumors swirling around about Resident Evil Requiem have me a bit on edge. However, it’s crucial to remember that these are just speculations until Capcom confirms something official. The facts could change at any moment, so it’s essential to stay informed and discuss this with fellow fans. So, are you feeling apprehensive about Resident Evil Requiem, or do Capcom’s past reassurances give you confidence? Let’s chat more about it in the ComicBook Forum below!
