As Resident Evil Requiem approaches its February release date, Capcom has announced a special Resident Evil Showcase set to reveal more information and gameplay.
Earlier this month, Nvidia published a Resident Evil Requiem trailer featuring clips of a busy city environment not yet seen in demos or other trailers, and ‘publicly’ removed from a massive zombie outbreak. The city was populated with cars and pedestrians (and monsters in hallways), making the snippet resemble an open-world city more than what fans are used to with Raccoon City. The trailer can be seen below, featuring NVIDIA DLSS 4 technology.
After this trailer, Capcom wants to keep the hype train rolling with another Resident Evil Showcase set to drop this week. Previously, the Resident Evil Showcase from October 2022 revealed Resident Evil: Village DLC and showed off new visuals for Resident Evil 4 Remake, giving fans a peek behind the curtain before launch. It appears Capcom is doing that again with their latest announcement.
Artwork for the Resident Evil Showcase predominantly features the gun seen on Requiem‘s cover. Resident Evil Requiem‘s director, Koshi Nakanishi, has previously suggested this gun will be important, and the gun’s prominence may be revealed in the Showcase. While speaking to AUTOMATON, Nakanishi detailed how boss fights will go in Requiem, stating, “However, rather than defeating enemies in a flashy manner as you progress through the game, like in games that emphasize gun shooting action, the style is more like Resident Evil and Resident Evil 2, where players expand their exploration area in a closed space and overcome obstacles using their wits.”
How To Watch The Resident Evil Showcase
The Resident Evil Showcase will air on January 15, and it “offers the latest information on the Resident Evil series.” Beyond new Resident Evil Requiem gameplay, details on other projects remain unconfirmed. The announcement states, “some of the games included in the show aren’t suitable for children,” which could mean other titles may be shown, but this is unconfirmed.
The Resident Evil Showcase will launch on January 15 at 5:00 p.m. EST and will be available to watch on the official Resident Evil YouTube channel.
