Description:
Resident Evil Requiem's first major DLC is fast approaching, and the game's 
producer and director have both urged players to finish the main story 
beforehand.

FULL STORY
Capcom's 2026 hit, Resident Evil Requiem , has two
DLCs currently in production  and fortunately, one of them is coming sooner 
than anticipated. 

In an interview with Denfaminico Gamer (which we have machine translated), 
Resident Evil Requiem producer Masato Kumazawa, and director Koshi Nakanishi 
told players to ensure they finish the game's main story to access the 
upcoming mini-game DLC in May. The pair was queried over Requiem 's announced 
DLCs, and Nakanishi reassured fans that work on the story DLC is well 
underway, stating: "At this stage, all I can say is that it's currently under 
development, so please look forward to it."

However, when asked about the mini-game DLC, Nakanishi confirmed that the 
"development of the mini-game is already in the final stages." They also said 
it will be a single-player mode, which will be "based on the battles in the 
main game." Nakanishi believes fans who were hoping for more fun will enjoy 
it, urging players to be excited, saying, "sharpen your tomahawk and wait." 

The mini-game's description is brief from Nakanishi, 
but it sounds very similar to the franchise's beloved Mercenaries game mode, 
which usually features multiple regions from the main game used as maps for 
players to cycle through. 

Most importantly, though, Kumazawa said, "This mini-game content is unlocked 
after clearing the main story. So if you're planning to play it, clearing the 
main story during Golden Week would be just right for you to be able to play 
it." 

This is often the case with Resident Evil games, and extra modes only become 
available once the main campaign is complete. It also appears as though 
Capcom is poised to release the DLC during Japan's Golden Week or very 
shortly after, placing the launch date sometime in early May, so fans won't 
have to wait long to continue their journey through Requiem .
