Capcom has confirmed that “Resident Evil 9: Requiem” will appear at TGA, and a new trailer will be released then.

Capcom has confirmed that the latest installment in the Resident Evil series, Resident Evil 9: Requiem, will make an appearance at the TGA 2025 Awards Ceremony on December 12th. On that occasion, Capcom will also release the latest trailer, which is the most significant news about Resident Evil 9: Requiem announced by Capcom after Gamescom and Nintendo Direct.
Although, overshadowed by GTA 6, Resident Evil 9: Requiem is almost unable to win the “Most Anticipated Game” award at TGA 2025, as one of the nominated works, it has received a considerable amount of attention. Capcom’s decision to release the latest trailer at TGA 2025 is clearly an attempt to maximize the game’s appeal, allowing more potential players to join in and experience the game.
After Capcom announced that it would release a brand-new trailer, many players are eager to see if some of the issues they care about can be answered. These include details about the game’s combat scenes, whether classic characters like Leon will return, how the dual-perspective switching system performs in actual gameplay, and what the new enemies look like.
Regarding these issues, based on Capcom’s attitude towards the promotion of “Resident Evil 9: Requiem” and the disclosure of certain key contents, it may not be possible to get all the answers to the above questions. The following are some speculations on whether the above questions can be answered at TGA 2025 (Note: These are purely speculations, and the specific situation will have to wait for the release of the latest trailer).
Considering that a TV station has already publicly shown the combat footage of Resident Evil 9: Requiem a few days ago, it is highly likely that battlefield scenes will appear in the latest trailer. It should be noted that compared with the footage broadcast on TV, the combat scenes in the latest trailer are very likely to be more bloody and terrifying actual gameplay footage than those shown on TV.
Capcom has always been reluctant to reveal whether Leon will specifically appear in Resident Evil 9: Requiem. In recent official news, Capcom has focused more on the characters from Resident Evil: Outbreak who will return in the new work. Therefore, regardless of whether Leon appears when the game is officially released, it is very likely that Capcom will not disclose the possibility of Leon’s appearance. However, the trailer may showcase those Resident Evil: Outbreak characters who will return in the new work.
The specific performance of the dual-perspective switching system is very likely to be an important content showcased in the latest trailer this time. After all, according to the news previously revealed by producer Masafumi Kumazawa, the dual-perspective switching system in Resident Evil 9: Requiem is not a simple perspective switch. Instead, it makes the characters behave more naturally in the dual-perspective situation by adding a large number of animations and character shaping.
