In news that comes as no surprise to anyone, Capcom will be adding more content to Resident Evil Requiem in the form of additional story content, a new minigame and a photo mode. Requiem director Koshi Nakanishi revealed the news earlier this morning in a post on X.
The post contains a short video featuring Nakanishi thanking the fans for their support since Requiem‘s release at the end of February. Nakanishi went on to state that fans can expect updates to the game, including a photo mode. He then went on to reveal that Capcom is working on a new story expansion, though he was coy with the details, other than it would “delve deeper into the world of Requiem.”
Nakanishi stated that the expansion “will take some time” in terms of its development, but in the meantime, fans can look forward to a new minigame, which is currently being scheduled for release “around May.” Again, details aren’t forthcoming. One hopes that we could see the return of The Mercenaries mode, or a variation thereof. But until we get word from Capcom, all we can do is have our fingers crossed.
Resident Evil Requiem is available now for the Nintendo Switch 2, PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series. And check out Aaron’s review if you’re not one of the over five million players (so far) that haven’t taken the plunge.
