00:00Oh
00:30Welcome, and thank you for joining.
00:34I'm your host, Maggie Robertson.
00:37Today, we're giving you a briefing on all things Resident Evil,
00:42including a look back on its terrifying legacy,
00:46so you can be prepared to take on the series' latest installment,
00:51Resident Evil Requiem,
00:54releasing February 27th, 2026.
00:57I'm also thrilled to announce that pre-orders for Resident Evil Requiem begin today.
01:04Are you ready for the horrors ahead?
01:07To prepare you for Resident Evil Requiem, we've created a special recap.
01:12A look back at how we got here, the legendary characters,
01:16the unforgettable terrors, and the chilling details
01:19that may be important to remember as you continue to venture into the nightmare that awaits.
01:25So let's begin.
01:27With the events leading up to the 1998 Raccoon City incident.
01:36Many years prior, a group of researchers discovered the progenitor virus in Africa.
01:42Among these researchers was Oswell E. Spencer,
01:46a man of immense wealth and influence.
01:49Together, they founded the Umbrella Corporation,
01:54which on the surface seemed like an ordinary pharmaceutical company.
01:59But Umbrella's true purpose, driven by Spencer's ambition to reshape humanity,
02:03was to advance virus research and bioweapons development.
02:07Many years later, one of Spencer's collaborators, James Marcus, would successfully develop the T-virus.
02:14However, in 1998, the virus leaked from a research facility in Raccoon City,
02:21located in the American Midwest.
02:24The virus spread throughout the city, triggering an unprecedented pandemic
02:30and mutating its residents into flesh-eating zombies.
02:35Only the bravest souls were fearless enough to fight the infected
02:40and the monster's bioweapons born from the T-virus.
02:43And a handful of others were able to prevail and eventually flee the city.
03:01Fearing further spread, the U.S. government launched a sterilization operation,
03:06destroying Raccoon City.
03:08The Umbrella Corporation eventually went bankrupt due to the mounting evidence brought to light.
03:18However, its legacy lives on.
03:22And as for the survivors, their story was just beginning.
03:27Some, like Raccoon City journalist Alyssa Ashcroft,
03:31sought to expose Umbrella's darkest secrets.
03:34Some hunted the bioterrorists who weaponized Umbrella's research.
03:40Others set out to unveil the real truth behind the government's sterilization operation.
03:48The aftershocks of the Raccoon City incident would be felt for decades to come
03:53and coincide with other increasingly frequent bioweapon-related outbreaks.
03:58Caught up in one such bioweapon-related tragedy was an ordinary man by the name of Ethan Winters.
04:07Ethan was searching for his missing wife, Mia.
04:11Following an anonymous email, he finds himself in the bowels of the bayou at the Baker Estate,
04:18where he's greeted by a deranged family infected by a horrifying ailment.
04:23Ethan fought to escape their madness and rescue his wife.
04:31Three years later, Ethan would face a new nightmare.
04:34This time, his baby daughter Rose is taken away by Chris Redfield,
04:40the legendary hero who survived countless bioterror incidents.
04:45Ethan's quest to rescue his daughter led him to a mysterious, treacherous village
04:52ruled by Mother Miranda and the four lords.
04:57Like the Baker family, the village residents were turned into nightmarish creatures.
05:03And those four powerful lords?
05:06Well, one of them was more powerful and stunning than the others.
05:12What a goddess.
05:13Oh, my apologies.
05:17Now, where was I?
05:20Mother Miranda, who shares a deep connection with Umbrella founder Oswell E. Spencer,
05:25played a key role behind the village incident.
05:29Separately, it was revealed that an insidious force known simply as
05:34the Connections was operating from the shadows
05:38and also played a key role in the incident.
05:40To this day, little is known about the Connections.
05:46Ethan Winter's terrifying two-part tale was as chilling as it was exhilarating.
05:53An immersive horror experience witnessed from Resident Evil's first-ever first-person perspective.
06:00Both titles will be available in the content-rich gold edition for Nintendo Switch 2 on February 27th, 2026.
06:09They'll feature post-story scenarios and extra game modes.
06:14Resident Evil Village will also include a third-person gameplay option.
06:18And if February 27th sounds familiar, it's because it is.
06:24These two terrifying titles are releasing the same day as Resident Evil Requiem.
06:31The series' newest, most chilling installment, where you'll play FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft as she confronts her haunted past
06:40and uncovers the truth behind the Raccoon City incident.
06:45Prepare yourself for a new chapter of Resident Evil and a story that pushes the series forward,
06:52using gameplay that has evolved in terrifying new ways.

07:16The Deluxe Edition includes the same base game as the Standard Edition,
07:20plus an exclusive pack of costumes and weapon skins.
07:24And for pre-orders, players will also get the exclusive Grace's Costume Apocalypse.
