Capcom recently announced that Resident Evil: Requiem, their most anticipated survival horror entry, has already hit one million wishlists across Steam and PlayStation. This makes it one of their most promising Resident Evil titles to date.
While big numbers are nothing new for the franchise, Requiem stands out as one of Capcom’s most ambitious projects yet; reportedly the most expensive Resident Evil game ever made.
Fans are eager to return to Raccoon City, where Requiem takes place. They’re also excited to experience the game’s shift back to true survival horror, this time through the eyes of a new protagonist, Grace Ashcroft, who sees the terror in a very different light compared to series veterans like Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield. Content creators and influencers were recently given a sneak peek at the game’s demo, and early impressions are calling it terrifying; some even claim the new stalker enemy is scarier than Mr. X from Resident Evil 2.
With the option to switch between third-person and first-person perspectives at any time, Requiem offers players more freedom to shape their horror experience.
One million wishlists is a strong sign for Capcom, proving that the Resident Evil franchise remains as relevant and compelling as ever after years of experimentation and evolution.
Resident Evil: Requiem launches on February 27, 2026, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
