Resident Evil Requiem: Is This Really a “New Zombie City”?
The official India listings call the game Resident Evil Requiem and describe a return to Raccoon City—not the arrival of an officially named new city.
“New zombie city” sounds like a new location. The official Indian store pages tell a more precise story: the game is listed as Resident Evil Requiem, and the Xbox India description presents it as a return to Raccoon City.
That distinction matters. These official listings do not establish a newly named city. They establish a new single-player Resident Evil entry built around a familiar setting and two central characters: Grace Ashcroft, an FBI analyst, and Leon S. Kennedy, described as a legendary agent.
What the India listings actually confirm
The Xbox India listing identifies the game as a single-player title for Xbox Series X|S. Its official description connects Grace, Leon and Raccoon City.
The PlayStation Store India listing lists the PS5 version as PS5 Pro Enhanced and marks a free trial. It also names Grace and Leon, reinforcing that this is not a one-character gameplay pitch.
Why “new zombie city” is an incomplete description
The phrase works as a dramatic hook, but it changes the question. Read literally, it makes the setting sound like an entirely new city. Read against the official India listings, the more accurate idea is a return to Raccoon City seen through a new character pairing.
That gives the gameplay premise more shape. The important distinction is not simply whether the city is new. It is how the game uses a known location while placing Grace and Leon at the centre of the story. A clip labelled “Resident Evil 9 gameplay” should therefore be treated as a glimpse of a particular moment, not as proof that the game introduces a new official city.
A better way to judge gameplay clips
First, verify the product name. The official India pages use Resident Evil Requiem.
Second, check the platform. The current listings cover PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, with the PlayStation page also identifying a free trial.
Finally, separate confirmed product information from the language used to package a video. Store listings can establish the game, characters, setting and platform. They cannot, on their own, prove that an individual gameplay clip is official, complete or representative of the whole experience.
Verdict
The most accurate answer is simple: Resident Evil Requiem is officially presented in the India listings as a single-player return to Raccoon City, centred on Grace Ashcroft and Leon S. Kennedy. “New zombie city” is effective thumbnail language, but it should not be read as the game’s confirmed setting.
