  • Quick Answer: Resident Evil Requiem has released a free roguelite minigame called Leon Must Die Forever, accessible after completing the main campaign.

The new Resident Evil Requiem update has finally dropped after much teasing from the developers. The minigame is called Leon Must Die Forever and is a free update for all players.

Inspired by Ethan Must Die from Resident Evil 7, this new mode is a roguelite, with players controlling the titular Leon S. Kennedy over the course of various stages, picking up different modifiers to help them clean house faster.

The trailer also showcases a few cosmetic trinkets Leon can wear in Leon Must Die Forever. These include a pair of cat ears to give him that much-needed kawaii edge.

How To Play Leon Must Die Forever In RE Requiem

To unlock this new free minigame, you simply need to finish the main campaign of Resident Evil Requiem. The difficulty doesn't matter just as long as you roll credits.

In all honesty, it seems like the perfect excuse to boot up the game once again, and being free feels like the cherry on top. That being said, fans (and I) are still waiting for a beefier set of DLC to come at a later date. More story content has been confirmed, but perhaps some Mercenaries on the side, please, Capcom?

In any case, check out the trailer for the free Leon Must Die Forever update below.
