Biohazard 9: Requiem Promotional Statue and Interactive Campaign in Tokyo
Capcom has launched an extensive promotional campaign in Tokyo for the upcoming Biohazard 9: Requiem, featuring a life-size statue of FBI analyst Grace in the Shibuya district. The statue meticulously recreates the character’s combat stance with gun and flashlight, drawing numerous fans to visit and take photos. This marketing initiative extends beyond the statue to include interactive elements throughout Shibuya Station and underground passages, creating an immersive promotional experience for the game’s release period.
The centerpiece of the campaign is a 1:1 scale statue of Grace, the FBI analyst character from Biohazard 9: Requiem. Located in Tokyo’s Shibuya district, the statue captures Grace in a detailed combat pose holding both a firearm and tactical flashlight. The attention to detail in the sculpture has attracted significant attention from series fans who have been visiting the location to see the impressive display. This physical installation serves as a focal point for the broader promotional activities surrounding the game’s launch.
Complementing the statue, Capcom has installed interactive posters throughout Shibuya Station that reveal hidden content when photographed with flash. These posters contain concealed monster designs and story elements that only become visible under flash photography. Additionally, fans can participate in puzzle-solving activities in the station’s underground passages, searching for hidden clues related to the game’s narrative. These interactive components encourage fan engagement beyond simple observation.
For collectors, Capcom has announced a 1:6 scale Grace collectible figure that accurately reproduces the character’s clothing and equipment details. This premium collectible is scheduled for release in September of this year. The overall promotional campaign combines physical sculpture, interactive media, and limited merchandise to create a comprehensive marketing atmosphere during the game’s launch window. The coordinated approach demonstrates Capcom’s commitment to building anticipation through immersive real-world experiences that bridge the gap between virtual game content and physical fan engagement.
