- Resident Evil Requiem could be getting The Mercenaries Mode along with the upcoming DLC in late 2026.
- Newly datamined unused soundtracks perfectly align with the music you’d hear in Mercenaries.
- The replayable wave-based assault minigame would finally give players more to do after enjoying story content.
RE: Requiem has been a huge success for Capcom, becoming the fastest-selling entry in the IP. An impressive 70% of players have finished the campaign across PS5 and PC. Unfortunately, the game feels a tad bit lighter than what you’d expect from a mainline RE experience.
It appears that Capcom is already working on a solution by developing a Mercenaries mode similar to the RE4 remake. Newly leaked datamined soundtracks seem to heavily imply that the wave-based assault minigame is coming alongside the planned DLC in late 2026.
Why it matters: Capcom clearly nailed Resident Evil Requiem in terms of storytelling and visuals, leaving no room for complaints. However, the fans want more, and the replayable Mercenaries Mode would be the perfect remaining missing link in the game.
As discovered by dataminer SYRKOV on Twitter, the confirmed bonus mode planned for Requiem appears to be Mercenaries. The unused short tracks reveal what appears to be character intros.
Track 2 feels like a remix of the Save Room theme from RE2, which fans think is a character intro for Leon. The fourth track includes the ticking of a clock, a sound all too common for the players who experienced the Mercenaries minigame in other Resident Evil games.
It’s worth noting that Capcom was also quick to introduce Mercenaries Mode in the Resident Evil 4 remake via a free update, which added a nice replayable element to it.
Therefore, it’s highly likely that such a mode could also be coming to Requiem in the near future. Besides the story content and speedrunning, there’s not a lot to do in the game right now after all.
On a side note, Capcom is also reportedly developing Resident Evil 10 and the highly anticipated Code Veronica & Zero remakes at the moment.
