Capcom has released a brand-new free roguelike game mode for Resident Evil Requiem, and if you thought Leon S. Kennedy was done fighting, think again.
Starting today, players across the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store can jump into “LEON MUST DIE FOREVER,” an extra action-focused mode that unlocks after completing the main story. That’s right, you need to beat the game first before you can give this new game mode a try. Also, if this sounds familiar, it should be…. Ethen Must Die from Resident Evil 7, anyone?
According to Capcom, the mode leans heavily into the faster-paced combat side of the franchise, putting players back into previously visited areas while facing stronger enemy variants and a brutal race against the clock.
Players can also unlock special “enhancer abilities” for Leon by filling a combat gauge through enemy kills, giving the mode an arcade-like progression system that encourages repeat runs. Each playthrough changes up the order of stages and available upgrades, which should help keep the mode from feeling repetitive, especially across the five increasing difficulty ranks.
And while this isn’t the story DLC...
