Capcom released a free update for Resident Evil Requiem on Friday, adding a new postgame mode called Leon Must Die Forever. The mode is only available after completing the main story. It reuses the same levels but with stronger enemies and bosses, five new harder difficulties, a time limit, and a progression system built around an enhancement gauge that fills by defeating enemies and grants Leon powerful enhancer abilities. The order of levels and the enhancer abilities available are randomized each run.
Resident Evil Requiem launched on February 27 for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Capcom announced on March 16 that the game had crossed 6 million units in cumulative sales worldwide. The game features two playable characters: protagonist Grace Ashcroft in survival horror segments, and Leon Kennedy in action-focused segments reminiscent of Resident Evil 4.
