- Quick Answer: Capcom is fighting to scrub "low-res" ending leaks from X and Reddit while warning that sharing footage constitutes copyright infringement.
Capcom has addressed the rampant leaks popping up all over social media regarding Resident Evil Requiem and asked fans to be respectful of those looking to avoid unwanted leaks to preserve their experience.
Ever since physical copies of RE9 were found already in the hands of players, it was only a matter of time. Sure enough, Reddit and X (formerly known as Twitter), and even TikTok got flooded with low-resolution images and unsolicited spoilers from those looking to annoy players eagerly anticipating one of the biggest releases of the year, and potentially the biggest in Resident Evil history.
Via the official Resident Evil Japanese X account, Capcom pleaded to players not to share images or videos of key moments in Resident Evil Requiem, warning fans to avoid sharing them if possible. Furthermore, they stated that sharing such footage is a copyright infringement and will be issuing takedowns and warnings to those accounts leaking major plot points.
Capcom has been very coy for a reason: Requiem seems to be a major turning point in the franchise. It's the first time a popular Resident Evil character will take center stage since RE6, with the return of Leon Kennedy. Sure, Chris Redfield was playable in the REVII DLC and in the final stretch of RE Village, but Leon seems to be much more than just a legacy character in a glorified cameo role.
