With Resident Evil 9: Requiem just weeks away, Capcom is hosting a brand‑new Resident Evil Showcase — and it’s shaping up to be one of the most important pre‑launch events for the game. As someone who’s been following every trailer, leak, and reveal, this showcase feels like the moment everything comes together.
๐ Showcase Date & Time
Capcom has officially confirmed the next Resident Evil Showcase will air on:
January 15, 2026
2:00 PM PST / 5:00 PM EST / 10:00 PM GMT
The stream will be available on Capcom’s official YouTube and Twitch channels.
⏱️ Runtime
The showcase will run for approximately 12 minutes — short, but intentionally focused.
๐ฎ What to Expect
Capcom has already confirmed several key elements:
✨ Brand‑New Gameplay Footage
The showcase will feature new gameplay from Resident Evil Requiem, including fresh looks at both protagonists:
Leon S. Kennedy — returning with a more action‑heavy playstyle
Grace Ashcroft — bringing the survival‑horror tension back to the forefront
✨ New Story & Character Details
Capcom is expected to expand on:
Leon’s role in the narrative
Grace’s investigation into events occurring 30 years after the destruction of Raccoon City
How their dual‑protagonist structure shapes the gameplay experience
✨ Additional Announcements
Some outlets suggest the showcase may include other Resident Evil titles or updates, as the event trailer hints that “some of the games included in the show aren’t suitable for children”.
This could mean:
Updates on Switch 2 versions of RE7 and Village
Possibly a surprise tease or franchise‑wide announcement
๐งฉ Why This Showcase Matters
With Requiem launching on February 27, 2026, this is likely the final major info drop before release. Fans are expecting:
Final gameplay systems breakdown
New environments
Enemy reveals
A deeper look at the dual‑protagonist structure
Clarification on returning locations and lore connections

๐ง♀️ Closing Thoughts
As a long‑time Resident Evil fan, this showcase feels like the moment the curtain finally lifts on everything Capcom has been building toward. Between Leon’s return, Grace’s debut, and the promise of brand‑new gameplay, January 15 is shaping up to be a huge day for the franchise.
I’ll be watching live — and I’ll definitely be posting my reactions afterward.
