CAPCOM has released a fresh wave of information on Resident Evil Requiem ahead of its planned late February launch, offering fans a closer look at Leon Kennedy in action. A nearly eighteen-minute gameplay video uploaded by YouTuber Punish showcases one of the game’s two protagonists navigating dimly lit corridors and facing mutated creatures. The footage follows the official reveal of Leon last month and highlights the survival horror elements that players can expect, giving insight into combat, exploration, and environmental interactions within the upcoming title.
In addition to gameplay, CAPCOM has confirmed the features available to players using PlayStation 5 Pro. Director Koshi Nakanishi explained in a Japanese PlayStation Blog interview that the console offers two distinct modes: ray tracing at 60 frames per second or up to 120 frames per second without ray tracing, averaging 90FPS. The PS5 Pro optimization allows players to prioritize either visual fidelity or high-frame-rate performance depending on their setup. Ray tracing mode delivers 4K output with full lighting and reflections, while the high-frame-rate mode targets smoother gameplay on compatible monitors, giving fans the flexibility to choose how they experience the game.
Beyond graphics, CAPCOM emphasized the role of the DualSense controller in heightening player immersion. Features such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and the controller speaker have been implemented to simulate in-game actions and environmental cues. For example, if a player is attacked by a zombie, vibrations through the haptic system convey the sensation of being grabbed or bitten, while adaptive triggers adjust resistance when firing or reloading weapons. Puzzle-solving interactions, like spinning a box of jewels, produce tactile feedback and sound cues through the controller, enhancing realism and player engagement. Nakanishi noted that these DualSense features could also be available on PC for players using the controller.
The updates arrive as anticipation builds for Resident Evil Requiem, which recently won the Most Anticipated Horror Game of 2026 award at the Wccftech Awards ’25. The latest gameplay footage and technical details underline CAPCOM’s focus on both visual and mechanical immersion, blending survival horror tension with advanced console technology. The combination of high-fidelity graphics, adaptive controller feedback, and detailed protagonist gameplay demonstrates CAPCOM’s effort to make Resident Evil Requiem a memorable entry in the long-running series while appealing to both veteran fans and newcomers. Players looking to experience the game’s blend of atmospheric horror and responsive combat will have a variety of options to tailor performance on PS5 Pro, creating a personalized and intense gaming experience.
