Capcom has announced and shadow dropped a new free DLC minigame for Resident Evil Requiem. The new mode, called Leon Must Die Forever is now available to owners of the game across PC, PS5, Xbox Series S/X, and Switch 2 as part of a new title update for the game.

Players will have to race against the clock and defeat stronger enemy variants from Resident Evil Requiem before facing off against the final boss. The minigame will feature five difficulty ranks. Players will also unlock randomised enhancer difficulties when they fill up their enhancement gauge by defeating enemies, Capcom said in press release.

The mode changes Leon's enhancer abilities and the order and progression of areas across each run, thus bringing replay value. The mode will also feature a variety of new costumes for Leon.
