Overview
- Capcom has officially confirmed a story expansion for Resident Evil is in development, while details about a shift to much larger DLC come from a known industry insider and reporting.
- An insider on X, quoted by multiple outlets, says Capcom is investing in lengthier, Separate Ways‑ or Shadow of Rose‑scale expansions to serve as substantive side stories.
- The reported rationale is that smaller side games in the RE Engine era struggled to meet expectations, so longer story DLC would let Capcom test ideas and fill gaps between major remakes.
- Reporting indicates the Veronica remake is being prioritized with a reported target of Q1 2027, with the Requiem story expansion likely planned to ship after Veronica; specific dates remain unconfirmed.
- Expect formal updates at upcoming industry events such as Gamescom and the Tokyo Game Show, where Capcom has been suggested as likely to provide concrete timelines and further details.
