Its November 19, 2026 release date could keep it from receiving a Game Awards nomination at all, and several outlets are now pointing out that the game's own launch window is the problem.

Just 24 hours after its February 27, 2026 launch, Resident Evil Requiem (the ninth mainline entry) already feels like the series' victory lap after three decades of evolution. Directed by Koshi Nakanishi and built on the RE Engine, this is Capcom at the absolute peak of its powers—blending the raw, claustrophobic terror of Resident Evil 7 and Village with the slick, over-the-top action of the RE4 remake into one cohesive, heart-pounding package.
