Resident Evil Requiem Review Embargo Date Revealed – RE9 Story Length Leaks Early

A new leak reportedly revealed when the Resident Evil Requiem review embargo lifts. If true, players will be waiting close to the game’s launch date to get official reviews of RE9 from gaming outlets. However, leaked copies of the title might have already revealed Resident Evil Requiem’s story length.

When Does Resident Evil Requiem Review Embargo Lift?

This latest leak comes from infamous Capcom insider Dusk Golem. In a post on X, the leaker claims to have revealed when the Resident Evil Requiem review embargo goes live. Assuming their leak is accurate, RE9 reviews won’t go up until two days before the game is released globally.

According to the leak, the Resident Evil Requiem review embargo date is rumored to be February 25, 2026, and it lifts at 7AM PT or 10AM ET. Yeah, we weren’t kidding when we said that is extremely close to the game’s launch. However, for comparison, RE7 and Resident Evil Village review embargoes lifted a few days before each game released.

So this is pretty much in line with previous titles. Here is when the Resident Evil Requiem review embargo will reportedly go live in each region:

How Long to Beat Resident Evil Requiem?

With reviews not yet available, it’s impossible to fully confirm the exact RE9 campaign length. However, several players who reportedly received early Resident Evil Requiem retail copies claim:

Main story completion time: 12 hours
100% completion time: 40 hours

If these early reports are accurate, that would make RE9 slightly longer than Resident Evil Village, which takes:

10 hours for the main story

38 hours for full completion

Interestingly, Dusk Golem previously stated that Resident Evil Requiem is longer than RE8, which also aligns with these reports. Of course, these estimated completion times may change depending on difficulty level and playstyle.

While Dusk Golem has a long track record of accurate leaks, we should take this latest review embargo rumor with a grain of salt. Still, based on several leaks and reports, it does appear that RE9 reviews could be going live extremely close to Resident Evil Requiem’s release date on February 27, 2026.
