2. Resident Evil Requiem

Many gamers are looking forward to the next entry in the Resident Evil series – after all, its predecessor the Resident Evil 4 remake was quite a hit in 2023. The game brings back protagonist Leon S. Kennedy, who will once again kick zombie butt in this survival horror game. The parts in which you control Leon will be more action oriented than survival horror. We see Leon kill zombies using a hatchet, and also blow them to bits using his trusty shotgun in the game’s latest trailer (see below).

The game’s other protagonist Grace Ashcroft doesn’t have the same powerful weapons as Leon, but she does get to wield a high-caliber pistol which can put down zombies with one shot. Her parts play more like classic survival horror (like Resident Evil 2), and are more about being stealthy and attacking from behind or avoiding enemies altogether. There’s also the secret of “Elpis” as game director Koshi Nakanishi has explained (via GameSpot), which ties in to the disappearance of Grace’s mother in the past… Plus, getting to visit Raccoon City again (a post-apocalyptic version of it) could make this one of the most spectacular games of 2026 when it arrives in late February.

Release date: February 26, 2026. Available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC and Nintendo Switch 2.
