Capcom has taken to social media to combat gameplay and story leaks for Resident Evil Requiem ahead of its launch next week. The gaming giant posted on platform X, asking players not to share spoilers and revealing that its legal department is actively issuing DMCA takedowns to preserve the day-one experience.

Gameplay leaks have already revealed major plot points, twists, and potential endings for the latest Resident Evil installment. A Reddit thread compiling these leaks includes gameplay footage of part of the game's ending, though it's protected by spoiler tags. The extensive nature of these leaks explains why Capcom is taking such aggressive action to maintain secrecy.

Another post in the same subreddit was removed by moderators, suggesting Capcom's takedown requests and social media plea are already having an effect. For a story-driven game like Resident Evil Requiem, maintaining narrative surprises is crucial to player enjoyment, making Capcom's protective measures understandable as the launch approaches.
