Capcom Releasing the Leon DLC Sooner Due to Resident Evil Requiem's Massive Success

Zombies are back, fans are thrilled, and the number of people who want to see them is quickly growing. It has sold over 5 million copies, making it the fastest-selling game in the Resident Evil series' long history. For a series that started scaring people almost 30 years ago, this success is yet another sign that survival horror isn't going away.

Sources say the sales milestone was announced through official franchise channels, which confirms that Resident Evil Requiem reached 1 million players in record time. The game is not only selling well, but fans also really like it.

Players have been praising Resident Evil Requiem across gaming groups and review sites.

Resident Evil Requiem currently has an excellent 9.5 user score on Metacritic. At the moment, that number puts it on par with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which is also a very popular game. Both of these games are among the best reviewed recently. What is it about the game that makes it work? Scale seems to be the answer for many fans. Over the years, Resident Evil has changed a lot.

It has gone from a slow survival horror game to a fast-paced action game. It sounds like Requiem has found a spot that is both familiar and new. People are already very interested in what might happen next since the game is already a big hit. More digital content for Resident Evil Requiem is already being planned. This content may center on one of the series' most famous characters.

Leon has become a fan favorite over the years because he has been in so many important Resident Evil games. The future DLC will be mostly about him. This could add to the story and give players more time with one of the series' most famous heroes. But it looks like Resident Evil has a lot more in store than just one DLC pack.

Capcom has big plans for the series, including bringing back a number of old games. A remake of Resident Evil Code: Veronica is said to be one of the most talked-about projects. Code: Veronica, released in 2000, is an important part of the Resident Evil storyline. The story is about the Redfield brothers and delves further into the Umbrella Corporation's past. Fans have wanted a new version of the movie for a long time, and it looks like they may finally get it.

Reports say that the remake of Code: Veronica could come out around 2027. It would probably be made in the same way as Capcom's recent remakes: the main story would be kept, but the graphics, gameplay, and general presentation would be updated.

The remake train might not stop there either.

Soon after, another famous entry could come back. It is also said that Resident Evil Zero, which was meant to be a prequel to the first game, will be remade. The project should come out around 2028, bringing Rebecca Chambers' story and the early events of the outbreak to current platforms. However, the most surprising move may have to do with the very start of the franchise.

Work has begun on a new version of the original Resident Evil. Though the project is still in its early stages, it may not come to market for a few years. At the same time, fans are already excited about the prospect of returning to the famous Spencer Mansion with new pictures and tech. It is also said that the company is working on the next big chapter in the series.

These people say that Resident Evil 10 will come out sometime around 2029. To keep the main story going, if that timeline holds, it would be another big step for the series as it gets close to its fourth decade. All of this means that Resident Evil will have a very busy future. The series could keep going for years to come with remakes of old games, new story add-ons, and a brand-new successor.

Capital G agrees with the plan.

A lot of people know and love the Resident Evil name. It's one of the finest names that the company has. It's been in TV shows, movies, and other things. There are fun and new people in the horror world every day because a new game in the series comes out. Fans have already asked the important ones. The remakes will be coming out soon.

Will they stay true to the originals or make big changes? What do you think this game will do when it comes out? Resident Evil Requiem is having a good time for now, though. Five million copies sold in such a short amount of time is a big deal, and the positive feedback from players shows that the series can still surprise people.

But if this is just the beginning of Capcom's next round of Resident Evil projects, the nightmares won't be stopping any time soon. There are rumors that a lot of games are on the way, so the real question is, which scary part will come out first to keep people up at night?
