- Resident Evil Requiem physical copies were leaked ahead of the game’s launch.
- Hideki Kamiya isn’t too pleased with the leakers and called them out in a new social media post.
- He wishes them a “thousand deaths” and wishes that they may never play games again.
Just a couple of weeks before Resident Evil Requiem‘s launch, a few people managed to get their hands on the game’s physical copies, and chaos has now been unleashed all over the internet. Entire gameplay clips are being shared, and Capcom can do little for the damage control.
In fact, Hideki Kamiya, director of Resident Evil 2 and creator of the Devil May Cry series, voiced his frustration on the matter on social media. In fact, he even went as far as to wish a “thousand deaths” on the leakers and the people ruining the game for others.
Why it matters: No matter how publishers try, video games are susceptible to leaks, but this has gone too far. A similar situation happened with Assassin’s Creed: Shadows last year, and it damaged much of the developers’ work, which had taken years to create.
Above is Hideki Kamiya’s message to the leakers, translated from Japanese into English. He recalls a magazine leaking the plot of Resident Evil 2 (called Biohazard 2 in Japan) ahead of the game’s launch.
He says that he abhors such people and calls this a “detestable act that destroys everyone’s happiness” and the developers’ who pour everything into making the game.
May you be cursed to never play games again…
Capcom is doing its best to calm the situation and prevent leaks from spoiling many gamers. The publisher’s legal department is taking down leakers and deleting any video clips posted ahead of launch, but they can only do so much.
We advise skipping any leaks for Resident Evil Requiem to avoid spoiling yourself. The game is just a week away from launch now, so the wait is about to end. In the meantime, publicly available information about the game reveals its length is twice that of Resident Evil 8 and has a much lower horror emphasis than the 7th entry.
