Who would have thought that the worlds of Resident Evil and Babymetal would ever collide? Yet, here we are! Capcom’s legendary survival horror series, celebrated for delivering some of the most spine-chilling gaming experiences, is teaming up with the iconic Japanese metal idol group, Babymetal. This surprising collaboration marks Resident Evil’s upcoming 30th anniversary in 2026, and we’re incredibly excited to see what this unique partnership will bring.
It’s no secret that Maggie Robertson’s portrayal of Lady Dimitrescu has made her an indelible icon of the Resident Evil franchise. Our beloved tall vampire lady recently returned to deliver thrilling news: “It’s almost Resident Evil’s 30th anniversary, and to celebrate, Resident Evil and Babymetal will be releasing collaborative goods. You can get your grubby little hands on some Resident Evil and Babymetal merchandise. That’s all for now.” This confirms that fans can look forward to exclusive crossover items.
While details are currently limited to collaborative merchandise, the prospect alone is enough to excite fans and make our wallets tremble! However, we can’t help but secretly hope for something even grander to come out of this unexpected partnership.
This collaboration brings to mind past musical crossovers, like Japanese rock band L’Arc-en-Ciel’s ‘Don’t Be Afraid,’ which was featured in Resident Evil and even received a promotional VR video set in Raccoon City. With the upcoming release of Resident Evil Requiem, we’re already buzzing with anticipation for RE 9. Imagine if Babymetal were to perform the game’s credits song? A fan can certainly dream!
Mark your calendars! Resident Evil Requiem is slated to launch on Friday, February 27, 2026. Stay tuned for all the latest information regarding Resident Evil 9’s release date and other exciting details as they emerge.
