Resident Evil fans may be getting far more than a small add-on. A well known series leaker claims Capcom is planning Resident Evil Requiem DLC on the scale of a full side story. None of it is official, so treat it as a rumor for now. Still, it lines up with something Capcom has already confirmed in writing.
What the Resident Evil Requiem DLC rumor actually says
The claim comes from Dusk Golem, who posts as AestheticGamer1 on X and has covered the series for years. He says Capcom is investing in longer story DLC for Resident Evil. His benchmarks are Separate Ways and Shadow of Rose. Separate Ways was the Ada Wong campaign added to the Resident Evil 4 remake. Shadow of Rose was the story pack for Resident Evil Village. Both were proper campaigns, not throwaway extras.
According to him, Capcom wants to use these expansions almost like small side games. The idea is to fill the long gaps between mainline releases. He also says the Requiem expansion was never part of the original plan. Capcom added it after the game took off and after fans asked for more. He calls the project very ambitious. One more detail stands out. He suggests the DLC may land after the Veronica remake rather than before it.
Capcom has already promised more Requiem content
Here is the part that is not a rumor. Capcom released Resident Evil Requiem on February 27, 2026. It sold quickly. The company confirmed the game passed 6 million copies, the fastest any Resident Evil has hit that mark, after clearing 5 million in its first week. In that same announcement, Capcom said it plans ongoing support and additional game content so players can enjoy the game for longer.
So more Requiem content is a safe bet. The size of it and the timing are the parts still resting on a leak. That is an important difference. It is worth remembering before anyone gets carried away.
Where the Veronica remake fits in
Capcom announced the Resident Evil Veronica remake in June 2026. It is a full remake of Code: Veronica. It is due in 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, Switch 2, and PC, and coverage points to an early 2027 window.
Dusk Golem claims the team is all hands on deck for the first quarter of 2027. He adds that it could slip to the second quarter if needed. He also says Veronica is tracking as the most wishlisted Resident Evil game yet. Capcom has confirmed none of that. For now the safest read is simple. More Requiem content is coming, and it may be much bigger than a typical DLC. Everything else is still just talk.
