Resident Evil Requiem is the ninth main instalment in Capcom's long-running horror series. It ditches the icy backwaters of Village for a return to Raccoon City, and while that predecessor harkened back to Resi 4, this newer one will fittingly resemble Resi 2.

It's set to release in Australia on February 27, and as usual, there are standard and deluxe versions available. Every pre-order will entitle you to a special 'Apocalypse' outfit for co-protagonist Grace.

At time of writing, Fanatical is the cheapest way to pre-order Resident Evil Requiem in Australia. But only by one cent! Green Man Gaming below is also very competitive. Fanatical might be a good option if you've made a purchase there recently and have some coupons lying around.

Green Man Gaming has been beaten to cheapest outlet by one cent by Fanatical, but that doesn't mean you should rule it out. If you use the outlet's XP reward system, perhaps you'll want to buy it here for the XP.

Whether you go with the Humble Store will depend on whether you're subscribed to Humble Choice or not. That costs AU$20.95, and in included Sonic Frontiers, Tomb Raider IV V VI Remastered, Hunt Showdown, and more . That still doesn't work out cheaper than Fanatical or Green Man Gaming, though.

Breaking with the norm, Capcom is doing a physical copy of Resident Evil Requiem in Australia, though with caveats. First of all, it's not a DVD or Blu-ray: it includes a download code coupon inside. Secondly, it's significantly more expensive than buying the game digitally. If you really want that Steelbook perhaps it's work it. Also, it does come with a pre-order bonus in the form of an "Apocalypse" outfit for Grace. Personally, I'd give it a miss.

The same applies to JB Hi-Fi as it does Amazon: this is a Steelbook case with a download code inside. Unless you're an avid collector I'd probably opt to get Requiem digitally instead.

These prices may change over the coming weeks; if we notice that they have, we'll dutifully update the page.

What's in the deluxe edition of Resident Evil Requiem and is it worth it?

The Resident Evil Requiem deluxe edition is only worth it if you're into cosmetics and deep Resi lore. No new game content is added if you go with the more expensive option.

Here's what's included:

  • Grace's Costume: Dimitrescu
  • Grace's Costume: Film Noir
  • Leon's Costume: RE4
  • Leon's Costume: Apocalypse
  •  Leon's Costume: Film Noir
  • Screen Filter: Apocalypse
  • Screen Filter: Film Noir
  • Four weapon skins including S&S M232 Weapon Skin: Apocalypse
  • Mr. Raccoon Charm
  • DSO Emblem Charm
  • Audio Pack: Raccoon City Classic
  • Files: Letters from 1998

If you want to pay extra to dress Grace up as Lady Dimitrescu then by all means, but I don't think this is worth it for anyone save fanatics.

The Raccoon City Classic audio pack is probably the most appealing inclusion if you're not into outfits and weapon skins, while the 'Files: Letters from 1998' just adds new readable lore messages in-game.
