Photos and videos of physical editions of Resident Evil Requiem have sparked discussion. According to users, copies are already in the hands of private individuals. The main attention was drawn to the cover with a 3D effect: according to impressions, it looks "incredible" and creates the feeling of a premium product.
Part of the community is treating the information with caution and does not rule out a fake. But the history of Capcom releases shows that leaks several weeks before a premiere are not uncommon for the publisher.
If copies really are already being distributed outside official retail, story spoilers, recordings of boss fights, and later the game's ending may appear online in the near future.
The official release of Resident Evil Requiem is scheduled for February 27, 2026. Three weeks remain until then.
