Table of Contents
Capcom takes fans back to the haunting past and ruined future of Raccoon City with the highly anticipated Resident Evil Requiem (RE9) live-action trailer, titled "Evil Has Always Had A Name".
Blending nostalgia with modern horror as the series approaches its 30th anniversary, this cinematic short film delivers a powerful punch. Here are the standout moments from the trailer released on February 2, 2026:
Resident Evil Requiem: Horror Rising from Raccoon City's Ashes
Instead of focusing on the main characters, this new live-action trailer raises the tension by spotlighting the tragedy of ordinary people caught in the chaos.
Maika Monroe and the Raccoon City Outbreak
Horror film favorite Maika Monroe (It Follows, Longlegs) takes the lead role in the trailer.
-
A Tragic Story: Monroe portrays a mother desperately trying to protect her daughter during the first outbreak in 1998. The trailer’s most emotional scene shows her character, now zombified, standing at her daughter's grave—a moment that moved many fans.
-
Devastated Cityscapes: The video also reveals the present state of Raccoon City—a massive crater after the missile strike. Half-collapsed skyscrapers and deserted streets give hints about the game’s explorable areas.
Mysterious Voices and the Ada Wong Tease
Radio chatter in the trailer’s final moments sent the community into a frenzy:
-
"Facility secure, Raccoon City is ours." Fans speculate this voice belongs to Ada Wong (Lily Gao) from Resident Evil 4 Remake. This suggests a new power, or Ada’s own secret agenda, will play a major role in the game as she hunts the remains of Umbrella.
What We Know About the Game
-
Two Main Characters: FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft (daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft) and legendary agent Leon S. Kennedy.
-
Hybrid Camera Angles: Grace’s sections are played in first-person (FPS), while Leon’s are in third-person (TPS).
-
Intelligent Zombies: Some enemies retain fragments of their memories and intelligence, making them more strategic and unpredictable.
