Capcom is developing a story expansion for Resident Evil Requiem, the latest entry in its survival horror franchise. Game director Koshi Nakanishi confirmed the expansion in a video message, promising to delve deeper into the game's world. The expansion is still in development, with Nakanishi asking fans for patience as the team works on the content.

Beyond the story expansion, Capcom is addressing bugs and performance issues while adding new features. A photo mode is coming to help players capture the horrors faced by characters Grace and Leon. Nakanishi also teased a "surprise" mini-game planned for release around May. These updates aim to extend the game's 30-hour campaign.

Since its release, Resident Evil Requiem has sold over 5 million copies in its first week, indicating strong commercial success. Reviews have been generally positive, though one AI-generated review briefly appeared on Metacritic before being removed. The story expansion news comes as Capcom continues to support what has become one of the year's most successful horror titles.
