- Resident Evil Requiem will be the first game in the series in years without a demo.
- The producer says they just want to finish the game and provide a great experience.
- He said that playable demos do exist, but they aren’t planned for the general public.
Resident Evil Requiem is set to launch in just a few months, and the hype is real. The entry had reportedly been in development even before Resident Evil: Village, so Capcom has taken its sweet time on it; however, it’ll break a series’ tradition.
Capcom has confirmed that Resident Evil Requiem won’t have a demo release this time around, which is a step in a different direction. All of the previous Resident Evil games in recent years have had demos.
Why it matters: The latest entry in the franchise is enshrouded in mystery, with fans speculating about Leon and other plot points; moreover, no demo also suggests Capcom is very confident in the release.
In a recent interview with Stevivor, game producer Masato Kumazawa went into detail about their upcoming title. He said that while playable demos for Requiem do exist, as seen at Gamescom, they aren’t planned for the general public.
So, in terms of a demo play, we actually have no plan for one (for the general public) at the stage. None at all. We just want to focus on finishing off the game.
– Masato Kumazawa
For context, most games in the franchise, since Resident Evil 2, have had playable demos for the public, so this time, Capcom is breaking a years-old tradition. Kumazawa says they just want to finish off the game for now.
He also addressed the rumors circulating about Leon S. Kennedy‘s involvement in the game, dismissing all of them as false. However, fans are convinced that he is being saved as a surprise for an upcoming showcase or full release.
Nonetheless, Resident Evil Requiem comes out on February 27, 2026, and takes us back to Raccoon City after a years-long absence. Horror fans have had a great year, and that will continue with this next release.
