The Resident Evil franchise continues its legacy of survival horror with the newly announced Resident Evil: Road to Requiem. The reveal trailer, published on the official Resident Evil YouTube channel, sets the tone for a dark, cinematic experience that blends the series’ signature tension with modern gameplay refinements.
This new entry promises to expand the lore while staying true to the series’ roots: claustrophobic environments, resource management, and a narrative steeped in biohazard conspiracies. The trailer teases both returning characters and new faces, hinting at a storyline that bridges past arcs with fresh threats.
🕹️ Editions Available
Capcom has confirmed that Resident Evil: Road to Requiem will release in multiple editions to cater to different types of players:
| Edition | Contents | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Edition | Base game only | Players who want the core experience without extras |
| Deluxe Edition | Base game + bonus digital content (likely cosmetic packs, soundtrack, or extra story items) | Fans who want additional immersion and collector-style perks |
(Note: Capcom often expands editions closer to launch, so a Collector’s Edition with physical items like statues, steelbooks, or artbooks could still be announced.)
✨ Why This Matters
- Franchise Momentum: Resident Evil has been on a hot streak with remakes and new entries, and Road to Requiem looks poised to continue that momentum.
- Community Hype: The reveal trailer already sparked thousands of views within minutes, showing the fanbase’s eagerness.
- Edition Strategy: Offering both Standard and Deluxe editions ensures accessibility for casual players while rewarding dedicated fans with extras.
With pre-orders live, the next big milestone will likely be a gameplay showcase or developer deep dive. Expect Capcom to reveal more about:
- Specific Deluxe Edition bonuses (skins, weapons, or lore expansions).
- Possible Collector’s Edition with physical memorabilia.
- Release date details and supported platforms.
Resident Evil: Road to Requiem is shaping up to be a major entry in the franchise, launching with both Standard and Deluxe Editions. Fans should keep an eye out for further announcements, especially if Capcom unveils a Collector’s Edition before release.
