A new leak suggests that the upcoming Resident Evil content could arrive earlier than fans expected. While Resident Evil Requiem has not launched yet, reports indicate that its downloadable content is already in active development. There are also early hints that Resident Evil 10 may not be too far behind.
These details come from well-known insider Dusk Golem (AestheticGamer), who has a track record of sharing reliable information about the franchise. However, none of these details has been officially confirmed by Capcom.
Resident Evil Requiem DLC May Launch Before 2026 Ends
According to the leak, Capcom is aiming to release the Resident Evil Requiem DLC before the end of 2026. This suggests that players may not have to wait long after finishing the main campaign to experience additional content.
The DLC is rumoured to expand the story in a meaningful way rather than acting as a simple add-on.
Possible Story and Characters in the DLC
Resident Evil Requiem is expected to feature Leon Kennedy alongside a new character, Grace Ashcroft. However, reports suggest that the DLC could shift focus to Grace’s mother, Alyssa.
Interestingly, the new storyline may take place before the main events of the game, offering more background and context to the overall narrative.
At this stage, details remain limited, and the full cast and story direction are still unclear.
Resident Evil 10 Could Arrive Earlier Than Expected
Another major claim from the leak is that Resident Evil 10 could release as early as 2029.
Typically, mainline Resident Evil games are released every four to five years. However, Dusk Golem states that Resident Evil Requiem faced multiple delays, while development on other projects, including RE10, continued in parallel.
This could explain why the next mainline entry may arrive sooner than expected.
A New Story Arc May Begin
Previous reports from the same insider suggested that Resident Evil Requiem could mark the end of the current storyline for several fan-favourite characters.
If true, Resident Evil 10 may introduce a completely new setting and begin a fresh story arc. It may also drop the “10” from its title, following the series’ recent naming style.
Other Resident Evil Projects in Development
Leaks also point to more Resident Evil games in the coming years.
A remake of Resident Evil – Code Veronica is rumoured to release in the first half of 2027. This may be followed by a remake of Resident Evil 0, which could arrive around 2028.
Another insider, NateTheHate2, has also supported some of these claims, adding more credibility to the reports.
Conclusion
While these details are still based on leaks, they suggest a busy future for the Resident Evil series. With DLC for Resident Evil Requiem potentially arriving soon and Resident Evil 10 already in development, Capcom appears to be speeding up its release schedule.
Fans should still wait for official confirmation, but the next few years could bring multiple major releases for the franchise.
