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.
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).
