Is There Early Access?

No Early Access Announced

Early Access
Similar to previous game releases like Resident Evil 7 until Resident Evil 4 Remake, Capcom is not doing an early access for Resident Evil Requiem.

This means that you will have to wait for the official release day to play the game.

Which Countries Can Play the Game Early?

Releases Earlier in Eastern Regions (New Zealand is the Earliest)

Since the game will release on consoles at midnight on February 27, 2026, in countries' local timezones, players in eastern regions will get acess to the game earlier than those in western regions. New Zealand fans will be able to play Resident Evil Requiem the earliest, as their timezone is much more advanced compared to other regions.

New Zealand's timezone is UTC+12, which means that midnight happens there earlier compared to other countries.
