Resident Evil Requiem remains largely under wraps, but a trusted insider has offered a clue about its campaign length and fans of the series may have something to look forward to.
Resident Evil Requiem could be longer than Village
According to well-known leaker DuskGolem, the upcoming title is expected to have a longer campaign than Resident Evil Village. Village’s main story clocks in at around 10 hours for most players, with a full completion taking roughly 38 hours. If this leak holds, Requiem would offer more time in its main path and possibly a deeper postgame.
Shorter than RE4, longer than Village
While not as lengthy as Resident Evil 4, which takes about 16 hours to complete the story and more than 60 to fully finish, Requiem reportedly lands somewhere in between. That’s promising for players who enjoy a dense horror campaign without feeling overwhelmed by filler.
Longer runtime could expand Raccoon City exploration
The added length might give players more freedom to explore Raccoon City and uncover new areas not seen in past games. A longer campaign could also mean a broader cast, deeper lore, and more time facing off against iconic bioweapons.
Here’s how campaign runtimes compare:
- Resident Evil Village: ~10 hours (main), ~38 hours (100%)
- Resident Evil 4: ~16 hours (main), ~64 hours (100%)
- Resident Evil Requiem (rumored): Between the two
Story length still varies by playstyle
Of course, actual game length depends on the player. Some may skip optional content, while others will chase every collectible and backtrack to uncover secrets. That variation makes any early runtime estimate tricky, but the insider info still gives fans a rough idea of what to expect.
Capcom has yet to confirm the details
No official word has come from Capcom yet, so all speculation should be taken with caution. That said, the same insider has proven reliable in past leaks. Recently, the game’s producer also addressed speculation about Leon S. Kennedy’s return, denying that the fan-favorite character will appear in this title.
Resident Evil Requiem might be a longer horror trip
If the early details are accurate, Resident Evil Requiem could be one of the franchise’s most expansive entries yet. With a February 27, 2026 release on the calendar, fans still have time, but the countdown has already begun.
