Capcom teased it would arrive after Golden Week, and it’s finally here – “Leon Must Die Forever,” a new minigame for Resident Evil Requiem. Available after finishing the main story, it stars Leon as he fights through familiar areas to defeat the boss at the end.
While it’s no Mercenaries mode, there are five difficulties, and you’ll still need to beat the clock. Easier said than done when tougher enemies abound, but by taking them down, you can fill the enhancement gauge and unlock one of three abilities to add to your loadout. There’s certainly a rogue-like element to it as the options change with each run.
One of those even sees Leon enhanced in a purple glow with red eyes, hatchet in a zombie’s neck, his bloodlust seemingly unsatisfied. Suffice it to say that combat fans will find plenty to love about this update.
Other notable additions include the DualSense’s adaptive triggers, haptic feedback and motion sensor working on PC alongside various bug fixes. Capcom also wants to remind you that the series’s first amiibos, Grace Ashcroft (sadly missing from this new mode) and Leon, will be available on July 30th for Nintendo Switch 2.
Resident Evil Requiem is also available for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. It’s sold seven million copies since launching on February 28th. Check out our review here.
