Resident Evil Requiem Minigame Nears Release

Capcom developers have announced that a new single-player minigame for Resident Evil Requiem is in its final stages of development and could arrive as early as next month. The content, based strictly on the game's combat system, will be unlockable only after players complete the main story, according to director Koshi Nakanishi and producer Masato Kumazawa.

In a recent interview with Denfaminicogamer, Nakanishi described the minigame as ideal for players seeking more action following the campaign. "For those who've cleared the main game and are thinking, 'I still haven't had my fill of mayhem!', I think it'll be something that makes you go 'Whoohoo!!' and have a good time, so please sharpen your tomahawks and look forward to it," he said. Kumazawa reinforced the timing, noting Japan's Golden Week holiday period from April 29 to May 6 offers a perfect window to finish the story. "This minigame is unlocked once you complete the main story. So, if you're planning to play it, I think clearing the main story during Golden Week will be just the right time," Kumazawa added.

The update builds on Resident Evil Requiem's blockbuster launch at the end of February. Available on PlayStation...
