What Exactly Did Nakanishi Confirm?
In a video message posted on March 10, Nakanishi thanked players and confirmed: “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 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.”
The mini-game announcement has sent the fanbase into full speculation mode. Capcom didn’t name it — but given the beloved history of the mode in the franchise, nearly everyone is hoping it’s The Mercenaries. You don’t make a Leon Kennedy that feels that incredible to play only to not let him let loose in The Mercenaries. Deadline
The Story Expansion — What We Know and What We’re Guessing
Requiem’s ending teases Chris Redfield’s potential appearance in the DLC via a minor cameo, and hints towards his Hound Wolf Squad coming into action. The fate of other legacy characters — including Jill Valentine and Claire Redfield, still supposedly infected with a T-virus strain via Raccoon City Syndrome — remains unresolved. Wikipedia
And then there’s the Leon wedding ring mystery. Many players noticed Leon was wearing a wedding ring, sparking speculation around who his partner could be — and it’s possible that Requiem’s story content could explain who Leon is married to. TheWrap
