No one ever thought the day would come when we would return to the bombed-out, decrepit remains of Raccoon City. Resident Evil Requiem gives everyone one more round, and if you’re ready to load the chamber again, find out when the Resident Evil Requiem release date is and expected release times.
There’s always a special vibe when a new Resi game is on the way. Resident Evil Requiem isn’t just a new game; it brings back Leon Kennedy for his first new outing since Resident Evil 6 (not counting the remakes). Throw in Grace Ashcroft, a lot of combat, puzzles, and the odd zombie, and you know you’re in for a good time.
When Is Resident Evil Requiem Coming Out? Release Date, Explained

Resident Evil Requiem has set a date with destiny for February 27, 2026.
When Requiem was first announced, there were so many questions: How will Grace differ from Chris, Jill, Leon, and everyone that came before? Then, with RPD being sighted, we wondered if Leon was going to make one final bow.

So much has been learned since Requiem first came to light. Once the February 27 release date was locked in, it immediately became a date for the diary. Whether you’re taking a mysterious sick day or you’ve booked it off, everyone will be there on launch day for the next chapter in the mainline timeline.
Resident Evil 9 Release Times

According to the PlayStation Store, Resident Evil Requiem launches at 9 PM PT.
Companies generally only post release time sheets on social media a day or two before launch. Right now, Capcom has done no such thing for Requiem. On the plus side, the PlayStation Store is known for posting an early look at a game’s launch time.
However, it must be said that this isn’t 100% accurate. It could change, and if it does, check back in as the guide is updated with new information to reflect this.
