Emotional Roller Coaster Awaits in Resident Evil Requiem’s Psychological Survival Horror

Resident Evil Requiem is set to embrace a more old-school survival horror atmosphere, integrating a new system designed to evoke a range of emotions, according to game director Koshi Nakanishi and producer Masato Kumazawa. The developers plan to reintroduce classic series elements such as exploration, puzzles, and resource management. However, they are re-evaluating the dynamics of tension and relief. Instead of constant high tension, the team aims for a dynamic, up-and-down experience, featuring intense moments interspersed with periods of calm. This design seeks to create a pronounced emotional roller coaster for players. Further details about this system have yet to be revealed. The developers designed Requiem to align more closely with the psychological tension and atmospheric focus of Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil 2 Remake, prioritizing these elements over continuous action. Players can still expect core series components such as combat and exploration to be present. The development team intends for these moments of heightened tension to be particularly impactful and memorable, distinguishing them from experiences in more action-oriented titles. Resident Evil Requiem will release on February 27, 2026, and will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
