- Capcom has revealed new gameplay of Resident Evil Requiem on Japanese TV
- The brand new gameplay section showcases gun fight with the primary protagonist, Grace Ashcroft
- The sport’s advertising and marketing could also be ramping up with The Recreation Awards set for December 11
Months after Resident Evil Requiem‘s reveal throughout Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest 2025, Capcom has remained very tight-lipped in regards to the upcoming instalment of its action-horror franchise, typically leaving followers annoyed by the advertising and marketing. Nonetheless, that seemingly stops from right here on out.
Throughout a Resident Evil particular program broadcast on Japanese TV (video obtainable under), Resident Evil Requiem‘s fight was revealed, with the sport’s foremost protagonist, Grace Ashcroft, keeping off zombies, as noticed by respected leaker AestheticGamer aka Dusk Golem on X.
For the first time, Grace Ashcroft can be seen wielding and firing a pistol at a zombie before being bitten and pursued by another aggressive flesh-eater, in a sequence that’s very reminiscent of those in Resident Evil 2. It highlights Capcom’s apparent makes an attempt to name again to the basic horror expertise that longtime followers are accustomed to the franchise, as we revisit Raccoon Metropolis within the sport.
Whereas it is possible satisfying for a lot of Resident Evil followers like myself to lastly see some new footage after months of seeing the gameplay demo that includes the sport’s stalker enemy, this reveal’s time and place spotlight how unusual and weird Capcom’s advertising and marketing cycle has been for what’s, arguably, its most anticipated titles in years.

Thankfully, although, the advertising and marketing secrecy could also be coming to an finish, with The Recreation Awards 2025 set for December 11 (additionally hosted by Geoff Keighley), and this reveal suggests a much bigger revelation is on the horizon.
Capcom has already confirmed {that a} Resident Evil showcase is about for early 2026, and The Recreation Awards 2025 is the final huge stage the place a significant reveal can be superb. Therefore, the possibilities of advertising and marketing going full power are very possible – until, after all, we find yourself seeing the identical precise content material, once more.
Since Resident Evil Requiem is already open for pre-orders, many would have expected to at least see more of what the game has to offer in terms of its gameplay and mechanics, but that hasn’t been the case.
I’m very appreciative of Capcom holding their cards close to not spoil or reveal too much of the experience before its February 27, 2026, launch, but that doesn’t mean showing the same content for the majority of the game’s marketing cycle is okay either.
Although it’s happened in a very strange manner with a reveal seemingly exclusive on Japanese TV (mind you, this is a globally beloved franchise), it’s a step in the right direction, and I’m confident a major character reveal is brewing for The Game Awards, followed by an extensive gameplay showcase in January.
