Explained simply
Capcom's "Resident Evil Requiem" is the newest entry in the long-running survival horror game series, released in February 2026. It stars actors Nick Apostolides and Angela Sant'Albano, who voice and perform as lead characters Leon S. Kennedy and Grace Ashcroft respectively, and both have built a public profile off the back of the game's success.
Gamescom is one of the world's largest video game trade events, held annually in Germany, and its Future Games Show is a televised-style broadcast segment where publishers reveal new games, trailers and updates to viewers watching online rather than in person. These showcase events have become a major part of how the games industry markets upcoming releases, often drawing large global audiences via streaming platforms.
Bringing in well-known voice talent to host such a broadcast is a common industry practice, intended to boost interest and draw fans of a popular game toward a wider showcase featuring many other unrelated titles.
