Resident Evil Requiem receives critical acclaim on release

Reported by AI Image generated by AI

Capcom's Resident Evil Requiem, released earlier this year, has garnered strong praise from critics and players alike. The game features dual narratives with action-oriented sections for Leon Kennedy and horror-focused segments for agent Grace. It explores themes of confronting the franchise's past while delivering intense scares and innovative mechanics.

Capcom released a free update for Resident Evil Requiem on May 8 that introduces the roguelike action mode Leon Must Die Forever. The patch is available now on all platforms for players who have completed the main story.

A datamine of Resident Evil Requiem has uncovered several scrapped ideas from its development, including a merchant character and side missions reminiscent of Resident Evil 4.

Electronic Gaming Development Company, linked to Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, has purchased 5.03% of Capcom shares. This adds to a previous 5% stake held by the PIF since 2022, bringing total Saudi ownership to over 10%. The move is described as pure investment amid Capcom's recent successes.

Hamilton released two limited-edition watches tied to the Resident Evil: Requiem game, which sold out quickly and now command premiums on the secondary market. The Leon S. Kennedy model, originally priced at $2,175, is fetching $5,000 to $6,000 on eBay, while the Grace Ashcroft version, retailed at $1,475, sells for around $3,300. A paired set has even reached over $10,000 in sales.

Resident Evil Requiem has achieved the highest concurrent player peak in the Resident Evil franchise history on Steam. The game reached 344,214 simultaneous players, surpassing previous entries and even some multiplayer titles. This milestone highlights the strong launch performance of Capcom's latest survival horror installment.
