Capcom’s highly anticipated Resident Evil Requiem (RE9) just dropped a new live-action trailer titled "Evil Has Always Had A Name", taking fans back into the terrifying past and shattered future of Raccoon City.
Blending nostalgia with modern horror, this cinematic short film celebrates the series’ upcoming 30th anniversary. Here are the highlights from the trailer released on February 2, 2026:
Resident Evil Requiem: Dread Rises from the Ashes of Raccoon City
Unlike previous trailers, this new live-action video focuses not on the main characters, but on the tragedy of ordinary people caught in the outbreak, cranking up the atmosphere to the max.
Maika Monroe and the Raccoon City Outbreak
Horror icon Maika Monroe (It Follows, Longlegs) stars in the trailer.
-
A Tragic Story: Monroe plays a mother trying to protect her daughter during the original 1998 outbreak. The emotional climax shows her zombified character mourning at her daughter’s grave, leaving fans deeply moved.
-
Ruined Cityscapes: The video also reveals the current state of Raccoon City, now a massive crater after the missile strike. Half-collapsed skyscrapers and deserted streets tease new explorable areas in the game.
Mysterious Voices and Ada Wong Tease
The final seconds of the trailer feature a radio transmission that has fans buzzing:
-
"Facility secure, Raccoon City is ours." Many believe this is the voice of Ada Wong (Lily Gao) from Resident Evil 4 Remake. This suggests a new power chasing Umbrella’s remnants or hints at Ada’s secret agenda playing a major role.
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 Modes: Grace’s chapters are played in FPS (first-person), while Leon’s are in TPS (third-person) perspective.
-
Sentient Zombies: Some enemies retain fragments of their memories and intelligence, making their attacks more strategic than ever.
