Resident Evil Requiem just dropped, and over 159,000 players are already tearing through the undead on Steam. But if you’ve already survived the main campaign, rumor has it there’s more coming: a Leon S. Kennedy-focused DLC, supposedly deep in development.
This leak comes from Dusk Golem, a name with a solid track record in the Resident Evil rumor mill. In a recent X (formerly Twitter) thread, Dusk Golem claims the DLC is “late in development” and will spotlight Leon, one of Requiem’s main protagonists and a fan favorite. Details are thin, but the leaker suggests Capcom is sticking with its tradition of post-launch content for major Resident Evil titles.
Why Gamers Should Care
If you’ve already finished Resident Evil Requiem, this DLC could be your next fix. Leon-centric content is always a draw, and with the main game’s strong launch numbers, Capcom has every reason to keep the momentum going. Expect more story, more action, and likely a fresh twist on the Requiem formula.
For completionists and lore hunters, Dusk Golem also mentioned that a playable version of Alyssa exists, possibly for DLC, though specifics are unclear. The scope of the DLC hasn’t been leaked, but the focus on Leon suggests a meaty side story rather than a minor add-on.
Remake Pipeline: Code Veronica, RE0, and RE1
The rumor mill didn’t stop at DLC. Dusk Golem claims the long-requested Resident Evil Code Veronica Remake is next up, targeting a 2027 release. After that, a remake of Resident Evil 0 is reportedly in the works for 2028. The leaker also says a new Resident Evil 1 Remake has just entered production, but warns it’s early days-Capcom projects sometimes get scrapped before launch.
Speculation: If these timelines hold, fans could see a steady stream of remakes and new content stretching well into the next decade. That’s a lot of classic zombie carnage on the horizon.
What’s Confirmed, What’s Rumor?
Capcom hasn’t officially announced any of these projects. Dusk Golem’s info is based on industry chatter and educated guesses, not formal statements. Still, their track record means the community is paying attention. As always, treat these leaks with caution until Capcom drops the real details.
The bottom line
- Leon-focused DLC for Resident Evil Requiem is rumored to be nearly finished.
- Remakes of Code Veronica, RE0, and RE1 are reportedly in the pipeline, with tentative release windows starting in 2027.
- No official confirmation from Capcom yet-stay tuned for updates.
