Get ready, survival horror fans! Capcom is gearing up for a Resident Evil Showcase on January 15th at 5 PM ET, promising a deep dive into the highly anticipated Resident Evil Requiem. As the Mobile & Apps Editor here at Automatica Press, I'm always looking for the intersection of gaming and mobile, and this showcase has my attention. You can catch all the action live on Twitch and YouTube, with streams available in both English and Japanese.

What to Expect from the Showcase

The showcase is slated to run for approximately 12 minutes, packed with what Capcom is calling “all the latest info on Resident Evil Requiem.” This almost certainly means we’ll get our first extended look at gameplay footage ahead of its release on February 27th. The game is slated for release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and Steam. It's great to see Capcom supporting Nintendo's next-gen platform right out of the gate.

However, the most intriguing detail comes from the Resident Evil website itself. The announcement notes that “Some of the games included in the show aren't suitable for children.” What could this mean? Well, it could be a simple reminder that Resident Evil games, in general, aren't exactly kid-friendly. But my gut tells me there's more to it.

Potential Hidden Horrors

Beyond Resident Evil Requiem, there are a few possibilities. Capcom has already announced ports of Resident Evil 7 and Village for the Nintendo Switch 2, also scheduled for February 27th. It's possible we'll get a more in-depth look at these versions. But what if there are more ports on the horizon? Could we see classic titles like Resident Evil 2 or 3 get the Switch 2 treatment? Stranger things have happened.

There's also the potential for news regarding the upcoming Resident Evil movie reboot, helmed by Zack Cregger, the director behind Barbarian and Weapons. With a theatrical release planned for September, now would be an opportune time to offer a sneak peek. Personally, I'm hoping they stay true to the source material and deliver a truly terrifying experience. The Verge is also reporting the possibility of more Resident Evil content, so it looks like this will be one to watch live.
