Excitement is building for the imminent release of Resident Evil Requiem, with the highly anticipated horror title now available for pre-order at significant discounts for PC players. The game launches on February 27, marking a major return to the iconic franchise.
Substantial Savings on Steam Codes
While the game will retail for £64.99 on PlayStation and Xbox consoles, PC gamers have access to considerably better pricing through digital key seller Loaded. The standard edition of Resident Evil Requiem is available for just £39.99 as a Steam code, representing a substantial 33% saving compared to the £59.99 listing on Steam's own storefront.
Deluxe Edition Also Discounted
The Deluxe edition of Resident Evil Requiem is similarly reduced, carrying a 31% discount at Loaded. Normally priced at £69.99, it's currently available for £47.99 ahead of the game's official launch.
Purchasing the Deluxe edition provides players with several additional bonuses, including:
- Five costumes for the two playable characters
- A costume themed after Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil Village
- Multiple weapon skins and in-game filters
- Charms and an audio pack
- The game's official soundtrack
Console Players Face Limited Options
Unfortunately for console gamers, Loaded isn't currently stocking keys for Resident Evil Requiem on PlayStation and Xbox platforms. The cheapest available option in the UK for console players appears to be at ShopTo, where the game is listed for £64.85 - a marginal saving of just 14p compared to the standard retail price.
This makes PC the most affordable platform for pre-ordering the latest Resident Evil title, with savings of approximately £20 available through the Loaded deals.
Positive Early Impressions
The game has been generating considerable buzz ahead of its release, with early previews suggesting it could be "the best entry yet" in the Resident Evil franchise according to preview coverage. The title features the return of iconic character Leon Kennedy and promises to cater to both classic horror and action horror fans through two simultaneous plot lines.
Resident Evil Requiem represents a return to Raccoon City, blending elements from different eras of the franchise to create what early impressions suggest could be a standout entry in the long-running series.
