Resident Evil Requiem Update Adds New Minigame Mode ‘Leon Must Die Forever’
Capcom has released a free update for Resident Evil Requiem on Nintendo Switch 2, introducing a new minigame mode called Leon Must Die Forever. The update arrived following Golden Week in Japan, delivering on previous reports of an incoming content addition. Players must complete the game’s main story before unlocking access to this new mode.
Leon Must Die Forever offers a distinct gameplay experience separate from the main campaign, focusing on fast-paced, high-intensity action. The minigame challenges players to clear multiple stages while controlling Leon and facing off against a final boss encounter that operates under a strict time limit. Throughout progression, players unlock exclusive enhancer abilities that enhance their capabilities and provide significant replay value by encouraging multiple playthroughs to master the various stage challenges.
The mode is designed as an action-focused alternative to the story-driven campaign, emphasizing quick reflexes and strategic ability management. Players must carefully choose which upgrades to prioritize as they progress through increasingly demanding stages, ultimately working toward defeating the end boss within the prescribed time window.
