Resident Evil Requiem has been fully leaked online, with videos showcasing the game’s finale and major spoilers now spreading across the internet.
Earlier this week, IGN reported that early physical copies were now out in the wild, and spoilers would inevitably follow. Days later, full details of the game’s plot, villains, major deaths and ending mechanics are now everywhere — with little sign that Capcom is able to stop the flow.
On reddit, a lengthy thread lists a series of plot reveals beat by beat, with links to off-screen images and even lengthy clips of footage that leave no doubt that the spoilers are real. There’s mention of unrevealed characters, various lore connections, and yes — the mechanics and details of game’s ending.
On the main r/ResidentEvilRequiem reddit, spoilers have completely taken over — with 17 of the top 20 posts discussing the leaks and already turning under-wraps plot details into memes.
That said, considering the huge anticipation for Resident Evil Requiem’s release, none of this really comes as a surprise. As noted Resident Evil leaker Dusk Golem wrote on X/Twitter yesterday:
“RE9 starting to leak 10 days away from release is actually super good for the series. RE:4 & RE8 leaked 14 days away, RE:3 was 16 days away, & f***ing RE7 was almost a whole month before release. I see people asking, ‘How could it leak a whole 10 days before release’, and over here I’m all like, ‘Huh, Capcom did better than usual this time. Good for them.
Resident Evil Requiem’s February 27 release date is now just a week away, and we’ll be keeping spoiler free here on IGN as much as possible.
“After getting hands-on with a total of about four hours of Resident Evil 9 Requiem at this point, and sharing that experience with colleagues, I’m more excited for the series than I have been in recent memory,” IGN wrote after going hands-on with Resident Evil Requiem recently. “It’s the old mixed with the new, but all in a modern package with two protagonists I already like a lot.”
