Resident Evil Requiem Story Expansion

While Resident Evil Requiem just released less than two weeks ago, the latest entry in the horror franchise has already proven itself to be quite the hit for Capcom.

With that in mind, the development team has now made an announcement that should make a lot of Resident Evil fans happy, as a new story expansion for Requiem has just been confirmed.

Not only that, but updates that will add new features have also been announced too.

Resident Evil Requiem Story Expansion in Development


In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the director of Resident Evil Requiem Koshi Nakanishi thanked fans for Requiem already hitting five million copies sold.

As part of the clip, Nakanishi confirmed that a Photo Mode update is slated to be rolled out, as well as a “surprise” update in May that will add mini games to Requiem.

If that wasn’t enough, Nakanishi  then went through a bunch of slides by hand until he reached the end that confirmed a story expansion (DLC) is in the works for Requiem. The game director says it is in development, though it will take some time, and asks fans to be patient.

Nakanishi says this expansion will “delve deeper into the world of Requiem.” No details were shared outside of that, so this expansion could feature our protagonists once more, or even someone new.

When it comes to updates, the first one was released last week, and it introduced a host of bug fixes.
