- Resident Evil Requiem physical copies are apparently out in the wild ahead of the February 27th launch
- Spoilers are reportedly online as well
- Fortunately, spoiler blockers are available for those who want to avoid seeing information early on
Resident Evil Requiem is now just days away from launching on February 27, after a frustrating marketing phase. Previous games in Resident Evil franchise has had a few leaks before release dates – and unfortunately, it looks like the same thing is happening again.
As reported by our friends at GamesRadar, early copies of the Resident Evil Requiem is out in the wild, and spoilers are apparently already available online. GamesRadar also states that they have found screenshots and descriptions that effectively spoil some of them Requiem‘s events, but cannot fully confirm their legitimacy.
I can certainly attest to the former as I have personally seen numerous social media posts from users with physical copies of Requiem. While I can’t confirm that spoilers are legally available online, there’s a good chance they are.
It’s no coincidence that once some consumers have copies, spoilers begin to spread; therefore, it’s best to proceed with extreme caution until February 27 if you don’t want to see anything early.
It’s time for an internet blackout if you intend to play Requiem blind.
Spoiler blockers are your best friend
If you’re like me who actively browses YouTube and other social media platforms, you might want to set some limits. One of the worst offenders when it comes to spoilers is YouTube, where spoiler videos appear on the website (especially if you watch other Resident Evil related content).
To make life easier until February 27, I’d advise you to use the Google Chrome No Spoilers extension, which allows you to enter multiple keywords and actively obscure the thumbnail and title of any video that includes them. It is most effective on the website, but it can sometimes fail to block YouTube Shorts.
There are still more ways to be spoiled even when you use such measures to prevent it, so the best advice I can give is to limit social media browsing as much as possible and use the mute feature on apps like X.
No one likes spoilers and I will never understand why some people ruin entertainment experiences for others. But now is not the time to think about it, but rather a time to strengthen your spoiler defense.
