Capcom has announced a Resident Evil showcase for tomorrow, January 15, at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET.
It will last 12 minutes and feature new information about the upcoming Resident Evil Requiem, which is due out at the end of February.
I have mixed feelings about Requiem.
I want to be excited for it, but its two campaigns, one being focused on horror while the other has more action, makes me nervous that they’re heading back toward that “attempting to appeal to everyone” approach they used for a while (where action always came out on top anyway).
I was happy when Resident Evil 7 returned to survival horror, and Resident Evil Village was right on the brink for me. So I definitely want to get a better feeling for Requiem’s approach before I get it.
Anyway, I’ll most likely watch the showcase to see what new information is revealed. Since it’s described as a Resident Evil showcase, there’s always the chance that something new might be announced, too (maybe a remaster of Outbreak to tie in with Requiem?)… although with a 12-minute runtime and a focus on the upcoming game, I’m not holding my breath for surprise announcements.
What are you hoping for from the Resident Evil showcase?
