Capcom released a free update for Resident Evil Requiem called “Leon Must Die Forever,” a new minigame mode unlocked after finishing the main campaign that pits players against tougher enemies through five increasing difficulty ranks in a clock-driven run to defeat the final boss while collecting enhancer abilities to vary runs and boost replayability.

The update improves stability and functionality on Steam and Epic Games Store, and adds support for DualSense features including adaptive triggers, vibration, and motion sensing.

Amiibo figures of Grace Ashcroft and Leon S. Kennedy are set to release on July 30 as part of this content push.

Exploration remains central, with weapon chests, red doors, Slot Enhancers, and Spinners appearing in each area to encourage experimentation with routes and builds.

Red and Blue enemies offer valuable rewards but require strategic play; Red enemies resist gunfire while Blue enemies demand parries to break their defense.

Readers are invited to share thoughts in comments, on Reddit, or through a poll, with background context on the author.

Hands-on impressions are forthcoming, including a video preview showing the mode in action.

Media coverage notes a trailer and screenshots, with Gematsu credited for the news and Play-Asia as the source.

Early Reddit impressions describe the mode as a randomized, door-based progression with upgrade pickups that can dramatically reshape combat, including flame upgrades, headshot damage boosts, and melee-focused builds.

Some reviewers express a desire for a traditional Mercenaries mode—time-attack multiplayer with multiple characters and maps—historically part of the franchise.

The mode adopts a Mercenaries-like structure with timed challenges, a preset loadout, bonus time for kills, and higher scores for tougher enemies, encouraging aggressive play.

Kills grant bonus time and points, with tougher enemy variants offering higher scores and enhanced versions increasing overall challenge.
