Alright, aint gonna lie we are not ready for this. Like, I was watching Summer Game Fest 2025 half-asleep, thinking we’d just get another DLC or maybe some remake update and boom Resident Evil 9. Out of nowhere.

Capcom dropped the trailer for Resident Evil 9: Requiem like it was nothing, but the entire internet just collectively lost its mind. I’m still not over it.

This blog? It's for all of us who needed to scream into the void about it.

What Just Happened?

So yeah it’s real. Capcom officially pulled back the curtain during Summer Game Fest, and let me just say this ain’t your average thing

The trailer opens with sirens, flickering lights, and what looks like a wrecked Raccoon City and then we meet Grace Ashcroft, our new lead. She’s an FBI agent, but not your typical “badge and gun” type. She's haunted, clearly dealing with something personal. And yes, she knows how to handle a gun.

There’s some serious psychological horror vibes this time like RE7 and RE2 remake had a gritty baby.

Story Breakdown What's Been Revealed So Far

Honestly, Capcom didn’t give away too much (because they love watching us suffer). But here’s what we picked up from the trailer and early press materials:

  • Title: Resident Evil 9: Requiem

  • Lead Character: Grace Ashcroft (FBI, but with family trauma tied to past outbreaks)

  • Setting: A rebuilt but still creepy version of Raccoon City

  • Vibe: Slower, scarier, more survival than action. Lots of tension, dark corridors, psychological horror over jump scares.

Word is, this isn’t just another outbreak it’s a targeted bioweapon release with political strings attached. And Grace? She’s got personal history tied to it all.

The Internet Reacted Exactly How You’d Expect

Twitter exploded within seconds. Reddit’s been spinning conspiracy theories all day. And I yeah, I had to rewatch the trailer three times just to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating.

“Grace Ashcroft might be the most intense RE protagonist since Jill.”  Random tweet that I now 100% agree with

People are already speculating about DLCs, multiplayer spin-offs, and how this ties back to Leon and Claire. It’s chaos out there, but the fun kind.

Will This Be the Best Resident Evil Yet?

Too early to say but this feels different. There’s a darker tone here. Something personal, gritty. No cheesy one-liners (yet). No over-the-top boss monsters (so far). Just fear. Real, creeping, psychological fear.

And if Capcom’s willing to bring us back to Raccoon City, they’re clearly not done playing with our nostalgia.

A Little Theory Time (Because Why Not)

Okay, hear me out what if Grace’s mother was part of the original Umbrella project? The trailer flashes her mom’s photo for like 0.5 seconds and shows an old lab in the background. It has to be connected.

Also, no mention of Chris, Jill, or Ethan Winters. Capcom’s being real quiet. Could this be a soft reboot? Or a bridge into something even bigger?
