With physical copies of Resident Evil Requiem out in the wild, leaks for the game’s story and its ending have inevitably appeared online. If you’re looking to avoid spoilers, now might be a good time to stay far away from YouTube, Reddit, and any comments sections, as details on Requiem’s story begin to flood in. Capcom is making an effort to address any of these leaks ahead of the game’s launch next week, by appealing to players to help preserve the day-one experience–and if that doesn’t work, Capcom’s legal team is on the case.
“Please don’t post or share pre-release leaks and spoilers for Resident Evil Requiem,” Capcom’s statement reads. “We really want everyone to enjoy the game’s story and experience as much as possible. Our legal department will continue to issue takedowns and deletion notices for leaks in order to preserve your day-one experience.”
2026 marks a big year for Resident Evil, as the franchise celebrates its 30th anniversary. Resident Evil Requiem is the first new mainline entry in the series since 2021’s Resident Evil Village, and later this year, the Zach Cregger-directed Resident Evil movie lands in theaters.
