CAPCOM has officially opened pre-orders for its highly anticipated game Resident Evil Requiem. You can now purchase the ninth mainline installment of the beloved horror franchise across all platforms: PC (Steam and, for the first time, Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S and X, and Nintendo Switch 2.
All pre-orders will include “Apocalypse,” a freebie costume for protagonist Grace, as a pre-order bonus. The Standard Edition is priced at $69.99, while the Deluxe Edition adds the Deluxe Kit for $10 more. The Deluxe Kit includes:
- Five costumes, including Grace’s Costume: Dimitrescu
- Two filters, including Filter: Apocalypse
- Four weapon skins, including S&S M232 Weapon Skin: Apocalypse
- Two charms, including Charm: Mr. Raccoon
- Audio Pack: Raccoon City Classic
- Files: Letters from 1998
To celebrate the aforementioned debut of the Japanese publisher on the Epic Games Store, players who get Resident Evil Requiem on this platform will receive special Resident Evil-themed collaboration items in Fortnite, like the Grace skin. These items will be distributed in Fortnite following the game’s release, which, as a reminder, is set for February 27, 2026.
CAPCOM also unveiled a special edition Resident Evil Requiem Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller, featuring art from the game and styled in gunmetal-inspired black. It will be available from Nintendo on launch day. Lastly, it was revealed that Grace will become the first-ever Resident Evil amiibo, available sometime in Summer 2026.
