Capcom announces 30th anniversary Resident Evil Showcase for Early 2026

Ahead of Resident Evil Requiem’s much-anticipated launch on the 27th of February, Capcom has been slowly but surely teasing out new bits of information regarding the upcoming sequel. As part of their recent ‘Road to Requiem’ video presentation, the publisher has confirmed that a full-blown Resident Evil Showcase will take place early next year.

At the tail end of Capcom’s Road to Requiem video (which included announcement surrounding Switch 2 ports for RE 7, 8 and 9; a Fortnite crossover; themed Switch 2 controllers and more), the publisher confirmed that they will be hosting a Resident Evil Showcase sometime “early next year where we’ll descend even deeper into all things Resident Evil Requiem.”

While the showcase will have plenty to do with the upcoming RE9, 2026 also marks the franchise’s 30th anniversary – and so expect a mix of celebrations; new announcements; potential ports; merchandise and more.

We will have to wait and see, but given how core the Resident Evil franchise is to Capcom, hopefully the publisher has some big plans in the works.
