Resident Evil Requiem is getting more story content, Capcom confirms

Following a record-breaking launch for Resident Evil Requiem, Capcom has now revealed that it has big plans for the horror game going forward.

Resident Evil Requiem was released less than two weeks ago, and Capcom already announced that the survival horror entry has sold over five million copies. Now, the company is looking towards the future of the title, with it today revealing what it has planned for this ninth mainline Resident Evil game, which includes a story expansion.

The news came from a video message by Resident Evil Requiem director Koshi Nakanishi. He first thanked players for the hugely positive reception before saying that the studio will continue to support the game with updates containing bug fixes and performance improvements.

"We released an update the other day to fix a variety of issues, and we will continue to address any other bugs and performance issues," said Nakanishi. "But that’s not all. We are also planning to add more content."

The first of this content will be an official photo mode. Then, "around May" will land another piece, which is said to be a mini-game of some sort. Exact details around these additions or release dates were not announced.

At the end of the message comes the biggest reveal. After teasing fans with a few images that show a Match-Three puzzle game and Leon's mystery partner, the director pulled out a printout showing that a story expansion is now in development. Once again, no release date information has been revealed. It's also unclear where the expansion will take players and if the protagonist duo will return for this adventure too.

"We are planning to make extra story content," added Nakanishin. "In this story, we will delve deeper into the world of Requiem. We’re hard at work on it now. It will take some time, so we ask for your patience and hope you’ll look forward to it."

Resident Evil Requiem is now available across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
