Capcom Is Confident Resident Evil Requiem Will Avoid Monster Hunter Wilds’ PC Issues

by

Capcom believes that Resident Evil Requiem will have a stronger PC launch than Monster Hunter Wilds. While excitement for the new Resident Evil game is very high due to recent leaks and speculation, some fans are concerned about the PC performance of another recent Capcom release. The developers are confident Resident Evil Requiem, scheduled for February 2026, will run well on PC.

Development of Resident Evil Requiem began around 2019, and the game’s direction shifted quite a bit during that time. It was initially explored as both an open-world game and an online co-op shooter, but eventually returned to a more traditional Resident Evil style. It’s already generated significant interest, with over a million players adding it to their wishlists. With the release date nearing, the development team wants to reassure fans that the final product will live up to expectations.

Capcom Expects Resident Evil Requiem’s PC Release to Go Smoother Than Monster Hunter Wilds’

I was listening to Capcom’s latest financial Q&A, and they were asked about whether Resident Evil Requiem might run into the same problems as Monster Hunter Wilds. They said they don’t expect it to! Honestly, it’s a good question, because Wilds had a really rough launch. Within just a few months, almost all the players on Steam disappeared, and the reviews turned overwhelmingly negative. People were super frustrated with all the bugs and performance issues, even on powerful computers. Capcom is still working to fix Wilds, but they seem confident that Requiem won’t have the same problems.

Capcom is optimistic about avoiding technical issues in both Requiem and Monster Hunter Wilds because the games are built on completely different systems, including how they handle online play. While Monster Hunter has sometimes struggled with its online features, Resident Evil Requiem is primarily a single-player game, so those kinds of problems are less likely to occur. The differences in the games’ core design should help prevent shared technical difficulties.

Capcom is working to ensure Requiem runs well on many different types of PCs. There’s also talk that Resident Evil Requiem might come to the PlayStation 4, which suggests it shouldn’t be too demanding for modern PCs. Ultimately, we’ll have to wait and see how the game performs on both PC and consoles.
