Resident Evil 9 can be played in the first or third person

Resident Evil Requiemaka the game to which we will all report ourselves Resident Evil 9It was revealed during last week Summer Game Fest. The trailer did not confirm what perspective Requiem It will use, but now we know through a man-off demo that when Capcom’s latest horror game arrives in February 2026, it will present an option both firsthand and in the third person.

At the summer game fest, KotakuKenneth Shepard He participated in a hand-off demo of Resident Evil RequiemWho presented a new character, Grace Ashcroft, linked to a stretcher in a decrepit and dirty hospital. We saw Grace in the first trailer of the game. During the demo, he fled the building, found a lighter and used a fuse to solve a puzzle. In the end, without a weapon to defend herself, he came across some disturbing monsters. That’s where the demo is over. All in all, rather standard Resident Evil things! The whole demo until this point was firsthand, similar to Resident Evil 7 AND Village. But then, in the end, Capcom reloaded a rescue file and stopped Requiem. They then passed by third person for a moment before ending the demo.

So we couldn’t see a tonne of gameplay in that perspective, but it is clear that Capcom wants everyone to know that this time you will be able to exchange firsthand and in the third person every time you want. This is a departure from the recent Resident Evil Games, which were only firsthand. A little longtime Resident Evil I didn’t like fans, and Capcom even added a third person mode in Village After launch. Requiem The launch with this is a big problem and a sign that Capcom is listening to long -standing fans, even if it continues to experiment with its longtime series.

Resident Evil Requiem Lancia on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC on February 27, 2026.
