Resident Evil: Requiem already had plenty of meat on the bone, between a decently sized campaign and plenty of post-game goodies to chew on. Now, a couple of months after launch, it’s gotten some pretty fun-sounding free DLC.
Capcom released a surprise update this week that included an action-packed new mode called Leon Must Die Forever. Unlocked after you finish the main story, Leon Must Die Forever is a gauntlet of high-octane action challenges starring everyone’s favorite former rookie cop, Leon S. Kennedy. Capcom’s official description makes it sound pretty straightforward: kill more difficult-than-usual enemies within a time limit, fight bosses, unlock enhancements, and try not to die, despite the mode’s name.

“Fight your way through areas you’ve visited previously throughout the game and defeat the final boss, all with stronger enemy variants, five increasingly difficulty ranks, and a race against the clock! Fill your enhancement gauge by defeating enemies in order to unlock Leon’s “enhancer abilities” exclusive to this game mode,” Capcom’s press release said.
Capcom has always had a habit of adding cool, stripped-down action-based modes to Resident Evil games that are meant to be played after finishing the story. Traditionally, they’re usually called some variant of “Mercenaries,” but the company went with the infinitely more fun Leon Must Die Forever for this one. If you’re like me and you’re still itching to roundhouse kick zombies and mutilate them with a hand axe despite having finished the story, maybe check this one out.
