- Capcom has confirmed that Resident Evil Requiem‘s first DLC is imminent
- Director Koshi Nakanishi said that the mini-game’s DLC will be a single-player mode based on the main game’s battles
- Producer Masato Kumazawa encouraged players to finish the main game to access the DLC
Capcom’s 2026 hit, Resident Evil Requiemhas two DLCs in production at the moment – and thankfully one of them is coming sooner than expected.
In an interview with Denfaminico Gamer (which we have machine translated), Resident Evil Requiem producer Masato Kumazawa and director Koshi Nakanishi asked players to make sure they complete the game’s main story in order to access the upcoming minigame DLC in May.
The couple was questioned Requiem‘s announced DLCs, and Nakanishi assured fans that work on the story DLC is well underway, saying, “At this stage, all I can say is that it is currently in development, so please look forward to it.”

However, when asked about the minigame’s DLC, Nakanishi confirmed that “the development of the minigame is already in the final stages.” They also said that 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, encouraging players to be excited by saying, “Sharpen your tomahawk and wait.”
The minigame’s description is a map 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 minigame’s 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 play it.”
This is often the case with Resident Evil games and additional modes will only become available after the main campaign is complete. It also looks like Capcom is set to release the DLC during Japan’s Golden Week or very soon after, placing the launch date sometime in early May so fans don’t have to wait long to continue their journey through Requiem.
