The countdown to Resident Evil Requiem is on, however it’s a way away.
The extremely anticipated Capcom title is about to land on 27 February 2026, so it actually received’t be right here in time for spooky season.

“Darkish legends encompass the deserted mansion Ashwood Manor: As soon as, an artwork collector lived right here, and his most useful piece is claimed to nonetheless be hidden within the villa,” the synopsis begins.

“Grow to be the hunter, then the hunted! Have you ever discovered the portray? Then get it out of the home. However will Ashwood Manor ever allow you to stroll free once more?”
With this in thoughts, it’s maybe extra doubtless that you simply’ll have to outrun or evade the manor’s horrors slightly than confront them head on.
Puzzle fixing can even require you to seek out your fair proportion of hidden objects; that will sound easy on paper however I’m assuming it’s far much less so when it requires you to enterprise into darkish, shadowy rooms.
I’m a wimp. I’ve performed Phasmophobia and I do know I’m horrible at strolling into darkish places the place I don’t know what awaits me.
