Resident Evil Showcase Airs January 15, 2026 and A Small Line About Games Has Fans Watching For Surprise Announcements
Capcom confirmed that a new Resident Evil Showcase will air this Thursday, January 15, 2026, at 2 PM Pacific Time, 5 PM Eastern Time, 10 PM GMT, and 11 PM CET. The showcase is confirmed to be a 12 minute special and will focus on Resident Evil Requiem, which is now about 6 weeks away from its scheduled launch date of February 27, 2026. Based on the official wording, the broadcast is expected to deliver the latest information on Requiem, and with the release date so close, this should be the moment where Capcom locks in final marketing beats such as launch content highlights, platform specific details, performance targets, and any late cycle gameplay showcase that the community has been waiting to see.
Keep your eyes on the Resident Evil showcase, 1/15 at 2PM PT. 👀

What has sparked extra speculation is not a teaser trailer or an obvious hint, but a small line in the official website description that references games in the plural. The site copy includes a warning that some of the games included in the show are not suitable for children, along with a note that the content will be age restricted and will require age verification to view. For a showcase that is framed as a Resident Evil Requiem focused special, that plural wording has been enough to push fan theories that something else could appear, even if only briefly.
Right now, the most common hope in the community is that Capcom could use the spotlight to confirm Nintendo Switch 2 ports of Resident Evil 2 remake and or Resident Evil 4 remake. This is largely because Resident Evil 7, Resident Evil Village, and Resident Evil Requiem are already scheduled to hit the newest Nintendo console on February 27, 2026, so fans see a logical opportunity for Capcom to expand that lineup and strengthen the Switch 2 Resident Evil catalog quickly.
At the same time, it is very possible the plural language is simply standard phrasing that Capcom reuses across showcase templates, rather than a deliberate tease. The short 12 minute runtime also limits how much can realistically fit into the broadcast, and most of that time will almost certainly be reserved for Requiem. That makes larger scale announcements, such as rumored future remakes like Resident Evil Code Veronica and Resident Evil Zero, feel unlikely for this specific show, especially with Requiem still in its final pre launch window.
Capcom also confirmed that fans should stick around on the Capcom USA Twitch channel after the showcase for a post show discussion featuring guests Bawkbasoup and JenIsOnline, followed by a giveaway of a Resident Evil 4 Collector’s Edition. If you are tuning in live, that post show segment may be where additional context, reactions, and small clarifications surface even if the main broadcast stays tightly focused on Requiem.
Are you expecting this showcase to be purely Resident Evil Requiem, or do you think Capcom will squeeze in a quick surprise like a Switch 2 remake port reveal?
