Resident Evil Requiem Story Expansion and Additional 'Mini Game' in Development, Director Confirms
Capcom plans a Resident Evil Requiem story expansion and May 2026 patch with Photo Mode and mini-game after selling over 5 million copies, director Akifumi Nakanishi said.
On March 10, 2026, Capcom announced a Resident Evil Requiem story expansion on X, confirmed by RE9 Director Akifumi Nakanishi holding up a paper reading 'Story Expansion Now in Development'.
RE9 Director Akifumi Nakanishi thanked players after Resident Evil Requiem sold over 5 million copies as of last week and noted physical copies stock issues.
Capcom said the May 2026 patch will add Photo Mode and a mini-game, with Nakanishi stating, 'First, the much-awaited photo mode...' .
Fans debated whether the 'Forbidden Requiem' artwork showing Leon with a ring was a joke or tease, as Capcom provided no release date or details.
Nakanishi cautioned the expansion will take time, saying it will 'take a little wait,' while Capcom confirmed additional patches for gameplay and stability and translation notes suggest it won’t arrive soon.
