Resident Evil Requiem: Exclusive Gameplay Airs on Japanese TV Ahead of The Game Awards 2025
Excitement for Capcom’s Resident Evil Requiem is building after exclusive gameplay footage appeared on a Japanese TV show, showing protagonist Grace Ashcroft coming face-to-face with a zombie in a mansion reminiscent of RE1.
Resident Evil Requiem is a return to the series’ “overarching narrative,” taking it back to Racoon City as Capcom uses the game to celebrate the franchise’s 30th anniversary, and the latest gameplay footage reveals a scene eerily similar to Resident Evil 1 and Spencer Mansion.
The footage comes from a Japanese TV show airing a special on the IP, via reliable Capcom leaker DuskGolem, who says the short clip features a “new area.”
A Glimpse into the Next Nightmare
Capcom has previously stated it wants to return to the series’ roots, going back to where it all began, to Racoon City. The new gameplay footage reveals the developer has moved on from the first-person horror of newer titles like Resident Evil Village, in favor of the intense, third-person over-the-shoulder action of recent remakes like Resident Evil 2.
It’s also clear that Capcom is appealing to long-term fans of the series while attempting to attract new players. Zombies are grotesque and highly detailed, while the setting revealed in the clip shows a location similar to Spencer Mansion from the original 1996 game.

The short footage looks pretty familiar in style, almost like they’re trying to echo the older games without overdoing it. Hard to tell much from just a quick scene, but the atmosphere seems on the right track. With TGA coming up, we’ll probably get a better idea of what they’re aiming for.
