The hype surrounding Resident Evil: Requiem is at an all-time high now that it is scheduled for a major reveal at Gamescom 2025. Meanwhile, credible Resident Evil leaker and insider Dusk Golem has already spilled the beans in a massive leak.
Warning: Spoilers about Requiem’s story will be mentioned. Proceed with caution.
After Capcom announced that Resident Evil Requiem would be showcased during next week’s Gamescom 2025, Dusk Golem, also known as Aesthetic Gamer, went on a posting spree on X detailing what to expect in the game. His posts covered some of Requiem’s mechanics, gameplay, and its second playable character.
According to him, Requiem will be a radical departure from the more constrained approach of previous RE entries. He claimed the game will feature an open-level design set in Raccoon City, where players will use vehicles to traverse the streets. This could be similar to what Resident Evil Village attempted, but instead of Ethan simply walking or running through interconnected areas, the world will be larger, with vehicles serving as a central gameplay mechanic.
Dusk Golem’s leaks do not stop there. He also revealed key story details about Grace’s significance and how her mother’s history connects to both Umbrella and Raccoon City.
As for the second playable character, Dusk Golem is confident it will be Leon. He hinted that Leon’s combat will feature major innovations, with what he called “Last of Us-isms.” This suggests we might see an older Leon, determined to tie up any loose ends involving Umbrella’s presence in Raccoon City.
In one of his more cryptic posts, Dusk Golem shared a “Resident Evil Requiem Out of Context” image. While no one knows exactly what it means, fans have already begun speculating. Some believe it could hint at Leon riding a motorcycle into a post-apocalyptic Raccoon City, making the kind of cinematic entrance only he could pull off.
While much of his information remains mysterious, it sets the expectation that Requiem will mark a major shift from the series’ traditional survival horror style. It could be a landmark entry that sparks a new legacy, as Dusk Golem suggested this might be the final numbered Resident Evil title and the true conclusion to the Umbrella and Raccoon City storyline.
