Resident Evil Requiem New Update 1.300 Adds “Leon Must Die Forever” Mode
True to their word, Capcom has released the mini games update to Resident Evil Requiem today! Players will see this download as Resident Evil Requiem update 1.300 (complete version 1.300.000), and it clocks in at 2.1 GB on PS5.
This adds a new mode called Leon Must Die Forever (LMDF) for free!
Alongside the mode, there are also other Capcom announcements that Resident Evil fans will be interested to hear about, which are avaiable below.
Resident Evil Requiem Min Games Update Released on May 7
The mode is available in the Extra Games section of Resident Evil Requiem, and yes, it’s free. The mode’s description says, “Grace made it home safely, but Leon still has work to do. Use his enhanced abilities to complete this minigame as fast as possible.”
Here’s the full overview via the developers:
“LEON MUST DIE FOREVER” is an extra game mode that is unlocked after players complete the main story and comes packed with the nonstop combat action that players know and love from legendary agent Leon S. Kennedy. Fight your way through areas you’ve visited previously throughout the game and defeat the final boss, all with stronger enemy variants, five increasingly difficulty ranks, and a race against the clock! Fill your enhancement gauge by defeating enemies in order to unlock Leon’s “enhancer abilities” exclusive to this game mode.
The order and progression of each area, plus options for Leon’s “enhancer abilities,” differ among each run, adding to increased replayability.
Alongside that, Capcom also confirmed the following announcements:
- Various bug fixes across platforms have been addressed
- Added PC support for the DualSense® wireless controller’s adaptive triggers, haptic feedback, and motion sensor features
- All-new “LEON MUST DIE FOREVER” merch including t-shirts, long-sleeve shirts, sweatshirt, and hoodies, is available now on Amazon!
- And don’t forget that the first-ever Resident Evil amiibo figures release on July 30 featuring the main characters from Resident Evil Requiem, Grace Ashcroft and Leon S. Kennedy!
For those wondering what it is, it’s similar to the Ethan Must Die mode from Resident Evil 7. In the mode, players will play as Leon (duh!), and go through a dungeon where the player goes through rooms and fight enemies.
Unfortunately, for those hoping for a proper Mercenaries mode to be added in Requiem, this seems to have put the kibosh on that. That said, this is a welcome surprise, as Capcom just shadowdropped this update, which we weren’t expecting, given we just got the Photo Mode update a month ago.
Speaking of Capcom, the publisher’s Netflix Devil May Cry animated show is getting a third season, per our sources.
The content for RE Requiem isn’t ending here, as Capcom also has a premium (read: paid) story DLC in development, which we’re itching to know more details about.
