Resident Evil 9: Requiem Showcase

The upcoming RE9 showcase is going to share even more updates before the games launch!

The wait is almost over, survival horror fans! Capcom has officially confirmed a Resident Evil Showcase streaming today, January 15, 2026, and the rumor mill is spinning at a frantic pace. With Resident Evil 9: Requiem set to launch on February 27, this 12-minute deep dive is expected to be the final major info dump before we head back into the nightmare.

Here is the "leaked" and rumoured intel we’re tracking ahead of the show:

The "Open-World" Raccoon City?

The biggest buzz surrounds a potential semi-open world structure. Recent Nvidia tech previews showed a bustling, surprisingly intact city environment (rumored to be "Wrenwood"). Fans are dying to know: are we looking at a linear path, or a massive, explorable urban nightmare?

Leon & Grace: The Dual Protagonists

It’s no longer a secret that Leon S. Kennedy is back, but rumors suggest today’s showcase will highlight how his gameplay differs from newcomer Grace Ashcroft.

• Leon: Rumored to handle the "pulse-pounding action" segments (think RE4 vibes).

• Grace: Expected to lead the "tense survival horror" sections, focusing on stealth and puzzles.

Legacy Characters & The "Bite"

Keep your eyes peeled for a glimpse of other veterans. While Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield have been whispered about for months, the real internet obsession is a mysterious mark on Leon’s neck spotted in early teasers. Is the legendary survivor actually infected this time?

Nintendo Switch 2 & Remake Teases

With the Switch 2 launch looming, expect a look at how Requiem runs on Nintendo's new hardware. Plus, keep those fingers crossed—insiders are hopeful for a "one more thing" teaser regarding the long-rumored Code: Veronica or Resident Evil Zero remakes.

How to Watch:

The showcase airs at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET / 10 PM GMT on Capcom’s official YouTube and Twitch channels.
