In February 2026, Resident Evil Requiem topped the sales charts on PS5 in the U.S. According to a report from Circana, the PlayStation 5 version of Resident Evil Requiem outsold the PC version in the U.S. at launch. This was likely due to the lower barrier to entry for consoles and Sony's established user base, which resulted in higher console sales despite strong engagement on PC. A DLC featuring Ada Wong is also rumored. The full February report from Circana will provide additional details on platform splits, digital versus physical sales, and overall market performance. Capcom is also developing more content for Resident Evil Requiem, including a story expansion—possibly starring Leon Kennedy—and a Photo Mode. Capcom is reportedly planning multiple initiatives to celebrate the Resident Evil franchise's 30th anniversary. These plans include continued support for Resident Evil: Village with free updates and premium story DLC, a potential collaboration with Universal Studios Japan in 2026 related to Resident Evil: Village, and orchestral concerts in Japan, the U.S., and Europe as part of the anniversary celebration. Furthermore, sources indicate that Capcom is considering remakes of Resident Evil CODE: Veronica and Resident Evil Zero, potentially slated for release in 2027 and 2028, respectively.
