You devoured <em>Resident Evil Requiem<\/em> in Standard and Insanity difficulties, and your bloodlust isn&#8217;t satiated? You wanted more hordes of infected monsters to shoot, more mutant bugs to slice in half, more close-up shots of the golden strands behind Leon Kennedy&#8217;s right ear, perhaps always and until the end of time? Capcom&#8217;s got you.<\/p>\n<p><em>Leon Must Die Forever<\/em> is a free mode that&#8217;s live today in <em>Resident Evil Requiem<\/em>, unlocked for anyone who&#8217;s completed the main story.\u00a0In the new minigame, players fight through increasingly chaotic waves of enemies to defeat the final boss before the clock runs out. <em>Leon Must Die Forever<\/em> features stronger enemy variants than the main game, five difficulty ranks and a suite of &#8220;enhancer abilities&#8221; for Leon that power up as he takes out zombies. It all takes place in locations you&#8217;ve previously visited in the campaign, so take comfort in what familiarity you can.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s update also comes with basic bug fixes across all platforms, and PC support for the DualSense controller&#8217;s adaptive triggers, haptic abilities and motion sensor. <em>Resident Evil Requiem\u00a0<\/em>came out at the end of February for PC, PlayStation 5,\u00a0Switch 2 and Xbox Series X\/S, and it was an instant hit for Capcom, selling more than 5 million copies in its first week. Capcom teased the <em>Leon Must Die Forever<\/em> mode in March, alongside the announcement of a coming story expansion, which will take significantly longer to produce.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully the minigame can tide you over until the mainline\u00a0<em>Requiem<\/em> content materializes, but if you require additional distraction, just follow Leon&#8217;s lead. Add\u00a0<em>Romeo Must Die<\/em> to your watchlist and get lost in the campy millennial violence, and then let that inspire you to watch one of Aaliyah&#8217;s best music videos again. Soon enough, you&#8217;re sliding\u00a0<em>Queen of the Damned<\/em> to the top of your movie lineup, and between <em>Leon Must Die Forever<\/em> and all of this beautiful bittersweet nostalgia, you won&#8217;t have time to think about how much you really just want more\u00a0<em>Requiem<\/em>. Damn it \u2014 forget that last part.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n    &#13;<br \/>\n<\/article>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2168035\/resident-evil-requiem-gets-a-new-leon-must-die-forever-mode-today\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13;&#13;&#13; &#13; Capcom Oh, you wanted more Leon?
