With 5 million sales in the bag, Capcom has confirmed that it plans to expand on Resident Evil Requiem with new content and a story expansion. Game director Koshi Nakanishi broke the news, confirming that a photo mode will be added to the game in the near future, and in May, a minigame will also appear in Resident Evil Requiem.
Like previous mainline Resident Evil games, Resident Evil Requiem will also receive a story expansion in the future. Nakanishi teased that the expansion will "delve deeper into the world of Requiem," and it's now in development.
The developer also made a few jokes related to ongoing Resident Evil Requiem discourse, including a cheeky tease of a game focused on revealing who the co-protagonist Leon S. Kennedy's wife is and a Resident Evil Match-Three puzzle game. Capcom is also working on improving Resident Evil Requiem on PC, and a recent patch introduced a number of fixes to deal with several performance issues.
New story content for Resident Evil Requiem isn't too surprising, given that several of the previous games received post-launch expansions. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard flipped the script on the intense survival-horror's gameplay by offering players more survival-action content centered around Chris Redfield and Joe Baker, while Resident Evil Village's Shadows of Rose expansion starred the teenage daughter of Ethan Winters, Rosemary.
A critical and commercial success story so far, Resident Evil Requiem has been one of Capcom's fastest-selling horror hits, reaching sales milestones quicker than the recent remakes of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4. The game also surpassed the player counts of both the Resident Evil 4 remake and Resident Evil Village on Steam, making Requiem the biggest launch in the franchise's history to date.
