Copies of Resident Evil Requiem have appeared in stores over a week before its official launch, prompting warnings for fans to avoid spoilers. The game, which serves as a successor to Resident Evil Village and introduces new protagonist Grace Ashcroft alongside returning character Leon S. Kennedy, is scheduled for release on February 27, 2026.
Photos of physical copies in the wild have emerged online, though they have since been taken down. Additionally, gameplay clips from a Twitch stream have been shared, although evidence of the stream appears to have been swiftly removed. Resident Evil leaker Dusk Golem has confirmed that at least one person has purchased the game early from a store, but did not specify which retailer.
In a post on X, Dusk Golem stated: 'I will say this is likely your last chance to go on blackout for Resident Evil Requiem leaks. Nothing major has leaked yet, I believe some of what’s floating around is fake… someone was streaming the game, but already taken down and not much spoilers came of it.' They added: 'But what’s out there will only increase. Game is 100% in the wild right now, so really if you wanna dip from spoilers, now’s the time to do so.'
Fans are advised to mute keywords related to 'Resident Evil' or 'Requiem' on social media to avoid spoilers. The game is set to launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and day one on Nintendo Switch 2.
