Capcom Shadow-Drops Free 'Leon Must Die Forever' Mode for Resident Evil Requiem

Capcom uses a free, fast-paced mode to bridge players to the coming story expansion.

Overview

  • Capcom shadow-dropped the free update Friday, making the mode available on PS5, Xbox Series, Switch 2 and PC for players who have finished the main story.
  • 'Leon Must Die Forever' is a roguelike, time-attack gauntlet through campaign locations where you race the clock, fill an enhancement gauge to unlock Leon’s exclusive abilities, tackle five difficulty ranks, and face final boss Victor Gideon.
  • Each run shuffles stage order and ability options to boost replay value, offering new unlockable items and costumes tied to performance in the mode.
  • The title update also fixes various issues across platforms and adds PC support for DualSense features like adaptive triggers, haptic feedback, and motion sensing.
  • Capcom says a larger story DLC is still in development with no release date yet, in line with Resident Evil’s tradition of post-game challenge modes and new content beats; new merch is on sale now and the first Resident Evil amiibo figures arrive July 30.
