Capcom has unexpectedly released an update for Resident Evil Requiem called Leon Must Die Forever. This mini-game, promised by director Koshi Nakanishi last March, will put us in the shoes of Leon S. Kennedy to play in different scenarios from the main game, changing the order of enemy and item appearances to create a frantic and intense arcade experience.

A much-anticipated update

Leon Must Die Forever is the first of the planned updates for the game, with the next being a paid DLC that will continue the story. While it has not yet been clarified how it will do so, there are two clear lines regarding this. On one hand, since Grace does not appear in this update, it is possible that her story will continue. On the other hand, the game ends with Chris Redfield’s Hound Wolf Unit arriving at the laboratory, so they could develop what his involvement in the events of the game is.

For its part, Leon Must Die Forever contains five difficulty modes, a new progression system, and a randomized upgrade system. Something that sets it apart from other similar minigames in the franchise, like the much-loved Mercenaries mode, present since the first installment, but particularly celebrated in the fourth and fifth installments.

The reception of Leon Must Die Forever, which is a nod to the highest difficulty mode of the Devil May Cry franchise (Dante Must Die), is generally favorable. While it is celebrated for its roguelike style, it is also receiving some criticism for recycling some content from the main campaign and for not having the same depth as the aforementioned Mercenaries mode. This could very well lead to some changes in the future regarding how to approach this kind of minigames.

Resident Evil Requiem and Leon Must Die Forever are now available on PC, PlayStation 5, Switch 2, and Xbox Series X/S. Additionally, to play this new game mode, you must have first completed the main campaign. And believe us, you will need to do so to survive.
