A flashy new video presentation charmingly dubbed “Road to Requiem” brought this tidal wave of information surfing into the gaming universe. And guess what? It announced that this spooky festivity is already available for pre-order! With pre-order bonuses that make one wonder if a haunted house can also be a theme park, players can snag some enticing goodies that look about as fun as a trip to the dentist.
Deluxe Edition: A Collector’s Dream—or Nightmare?
Now, for those with wallets as deep as their love for horror games, the Deluxe Edition of Resident Evil Requiem is here to tickle those fancy buyers’ fancies! For the low, low price of $79.99, players can acquire not just the standard game, but also five costumes—yes, five—bestowing upon Grace the opportunity to channel her inner Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil Village. One can only imagine the elaborate parties between costumes, weapon skins, screen filters, in-game charms, and a slew of other mystical items most gamers didn’t know they needed.
The Price of Terror: Standard Edition Details
For those not wishing to shell out an extra $10 to dress Grace like a towering vampire lady, the standard version of Resident Evil Requiem is being offered at the completely reasonable price of $69.99. Who knew terror could be so budget-friendly?
Exciting Showcases Ahead!
Wait, there’s more! A Resident Evil Requiem Showcase is on the horizon, set to roll out in early 2026. The precise date remains as mysterious as the game’s plot, but one can only assume that gargantuan surprises await players as they dive into this new horror adventure.
Controller and Amiibo Release Dates: Look Out, February!
The Resident Evil Requiem Nintendo Switch 2 controller arrives on February 27, marking the day when countless nerds will fumble to grab it off the shelves. Meanwhile, the Amiibo of Grace Ashcroft will grace shelves sometime in the summer, because what’s a little horror without a collection of figures gathering dust in a display case?
Epic Games Store Perks: Because Free Stuff!
For those feeling adventurous and purchasing Resident Evil Requiem through the Epic Games Store, there’s an enticing carrot dangled in front: “special Fortnite items, such as the Grace outfit.” Yes, because embracing inner horror never looked so stylish! One can only imagine the delightful chaos ensuing as Grace slays the undead while sporting funky outfits.
The Game Itself: A Peek into Creepy Corridors
For the gaming scholars and horror aficionados, Resident Evil Requiem is set to hit the shelves on February 27—mark calendars, set alarms, and prepare for the inevitable jump scares—on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and good old PC. VGC’s earlier preview offered a tantalizing glimpse, describing Requiem as a familiar successor to the first-person endeavors of RE7 and Village. The player will find Ashcroft navigating a gothic labyrinth of hospital horror that makes one question why medical bills aren’t the only scary thing in life.
As players cautiously tread through dimly lit hallways, the flickering lights will work their magic, casting shadows that make every corner feel like it might harbor a lurking creature. It seems that Requiem’s foray into traditional survival horror territories could rekindle that old sense of dread we’ve all come to love. Or at least find amusing enough to share memes about.
