Resident Evil Requiem is not only tearing it up in the ratings, but it’s also cleaning it up in sales. Today, fans can add to that excitement with the announcement that DLC is in the works. Capcom today posted to their social media about the future DLC for the game.
Director Koshi Nakanishi posted a video to the Capcom X account today, talking numbers and thanking the fans. In the video he proudly announced that 5 million copies have already been sold in just two weeks, he also took this time to share that additional performance patches and updates are on the way, with a photo mode and some unspecified mini-game expected in May.
The biggest news of the announcement though, was that additional story content was currently being worked on. There were no further details, only that it will “delve deeper into the world of Requiem” and it would “take some time” to get that DLC out.
The Statement from Nakanishi:
I’m Nakanishi, the director of Resident Evil Requiem. Our game was released on February 27th, and thanks to our players’ overwhelming response, we’ve already sold over five million copies. On behalf of the development team, I want to extend our heartfelt gratitude. Thank you very much!
We released an update the other day to fix a variety of issues, and we will continue to address any other bugs and performance issues. But that’s not all. We are also planning to add more content.
First, the much-awaited photo mode. On top of that, there’s another surprise coming around May. We’re planning to add a mini game. We hope to continue providing support on Resident Evil Requiem to live up to its positive reception.
Oh…one more thing. We are planning to make extra story content. In this story, we will delve deeper into the world of Requiem. We’re hard at work on it now. It will take some time, so we ask for your patience and hope you’ll look forward to it. Thank you again for your support!
The video was very light hearted and displayed some jokingly fun faux teases, with everything from a romance focused DLC, to other decidedly unscary scenarios. We are definitely looking forward to learing more about the DLC as we get closer to whatever the release date may be.
