Capcom will have many opportunities to show off Resident Evil Requiem between now and its February 27, 2026 release date, but its first was kind of a bust. Behind the closed doors of Capcom’s booth at Summer Game Fest, I watched a theater presentation of a hands-off Requiem demo that featured one puzzle, zero guns, and extremely dark hallways.<\/p>\n

In what seemed like the first level of the game, we see Grace strapped to a gurney, suspended upside down while an IV collects her blood. In a cutscene, she escapes by breaking the glass bottle of blood and cutting through her restraints. The player takes control in first-person as she stands up (at the end of the demo, we learned Requiem also supports third-person<\/a>).<\/p>\n

What followed was surprisingly unremarkable: Grace slowly inched down the hallways of the Wrenwood Hotel, trying the lock on every door as the sounds of a monster crawling around the walls built tension. When it finally burst through the wall just like RE7’s Jack Baker before it, its sickly pale skin and bulging eyes didn’t make a huge impression\u2014it was sloppy and nasty, but it couldn’t match the aura of Lady Dimitrescu or Mr. X.<\/p>\n

Grace ran, closing doors behind her and hiding in a dark corner until the coast was clear.<\/p>\n

It was around the time Grace was finding a screwdriver to open a panel to replace a fuse to restore power to the area that I realized: in a typical RE game, Grace would have picked up a gun or at least a knife by now. Instead, she skulked around with only a lighter (purely for light) and a bottle (throwable to cause a distraction). Strange, but hey, it’s an early level.<\/p>\n

Grace escapes, but not before the beast takes a bite out of her shoulder. She restores her health with an injector\u2014there better<\/em> be green herbs in that medicine, or I’m expecting riots come February. And that was it for the demo: short and unrevealing.<\/p>\n

All said, it was an uncharacteristically bland chunk of the game to show off, assuming Requiem isn’t dropping combat entirely. I got the impression that Capcom was holding back in a big way\u2014could it be that Grace Ashcroft isn’t Requiem’s sole protagonist and the rumors of Leon Kennedy’s return<\/a> are true? In that reality, it’d make more sense that Grace’s sections are stealthy, Amnesia-adjacent chases with monsters she can’t fight.<\/p>\n

The crowd would certainly go wild if the Leon theory bears out, but I wouldn’t get too attached to the idea and risk heartbreak. Maybe Grace Ashcroft is RE’s new front of the box hero and Capcom’s just saving Requiem’s action for a later date.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n
