Resident Evil Requiem

### Overview Capcom’s ninth main Resident Evil game pairs Grace Ashcroft with Leon S. Kennedy. Grace gives the story a way to build tension around a character with less experience, while Leon brings a familiar action lead. That pairing makes the game an interesting pick for readers who like the series for different reasons. Its four Joystick wins span the overall prize, console game, trailer and a performance award. ### Key metrics - Associated awards: 4 - First release year: 2026 - Award year: 2026 ### Pros and cons **Pros:** Two protagonists offer different approaches to horror; the lead performance earned its own award; the campaign gives solo players a clear starting point. **Cons:** The subject matter is intense; there is no group mode in this comparison; returning characters can be more meaningful to series regulars. ### Best for Players choosing a solo horror campaign who want both tension and action. ### Things to watch out for The four awards count the trailer and lead performance as recognitions associated with the game. **Vote Question:** Does Grace and Leon’s contrast make Requiem the strongest winner, or would you pick a game that does one thing exceptionally well? ### References - [Award organiser results](https://www.gamespress.com/ja-JP/Winners-Announced-at-the-44th-Golden-Joystick-Awards-Presented-by-Pot-) - [Official game reference](https://store.captown.capcom.com/en/blogs/news/0000008)
