Pre-orders are now live for Capcom’s Resident Evil Requiem, and if you weren’t surprised by its pricing for recent titles, it’s $69.99 / £64.99 / €79.99 for the Standard Edition. The Deluxe Edition, meanwhile, costs $79.99 / £74.99 / €89.99 and contains more than a few bonuses, including the return of a familiar foe from a past title: Lady Dimitrescu.
One of the Four Lords from Resident Evil Village (played by Maggie Robertson in an award-winning performance), Dimitrescu immediately created an impact upon her reveal. But don’t worry – you won’t be evading her down decrepit mansions. Instead, Grace can don her outfit, resulting in a uniquely ghoulish presence. And no, it doesn’t change her height.
Other Deluxe Edition bonuses include two filters (one of them dubbed “Filter: Apocalypse”), four additional costumes, four weapon skins (the S&S M232 gets its own “Apocalypse” -themed look), two charms (including the returning Mr Raccoon), and “Files: Letters from 1998” for lore nerds. There’s also an “Audio Pack: Raccoon City Classic,” though Capcom has yet to elaborate on what it offers.
Pre-orders will receive a free outfit, “Apocalypse,” which also changes Grace’s look to, ironically, resemble Alice from the Resident Evil: Extinction film. Physical editions are also available, including a SteelBook Edition with the Deluxe Edition’s content, a unique SteelBook and a “limited edition” lenticular card.
Resident Evil Requiem launches on February 27th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2 (unfortunately, as a Game-Key Card release on physical).
