Resident Evil Requiem is the ninth main entry in Capcom's zombie horror series. Following the story of FBI agent Grace Ashcroft and fan-favorite Leon Kennedy, the game connects the “Winter's saga” of the recent Biohazard and Village games back to the roots of the series. With two different protagonists offering slightly different gameplay and trailers hinting at a return to creepy locations like abandoned police stations, fans have high expectations for this new entry. If you can't wait to return to Raccoon City, you might be wondering what Resident Evil Requiem release times are.

I played 3 hours of Resident Evil Requiem and it's the best of both worlds

I continued with Resident Evil Requiem and played as both Grace and Leon to see what the series' ninth entry brings to the table.

Resident Evil Requiem Global Release Times

With Requiem, Capcom has chosen a “local midnight” for the console version of the game. This means that no matter where you are in the world (apart from the US), you will be able to start playing the game at midnight in your time zone. PC players may, unfortunately, be stuck with a “simultaneous” release time for the game, which usually means that those in regions further east will have to wait until later in the day to start playing.

The table below includes the confirmed console release times based on Xbox and PlayStation Store countdown timers when the game is pre-ordered, and what we expect to be the PC release time for each region.

Location/ Time zone	PC release time	Release time for console
