Resident Evil Requiem director Koshi Nakanishi has confirmed a story expansion is now in development for the game, with photo mode and new mini game expected in the coming months.Even with GTA 6 on the horizon, Capcom is making sure its name is at the front of your mind throughout 2026, with Resident Evil Requiem being perhaps the most-beloved game of the year so far, and Monster Hunter Stories 3 review scores coming in pretty hot. You would think the developers would be all hands on deck for Pragmata and Onimusha: Way of the Sword, but more Requiem was seemingly too good to pass up (and after selling 5 million copies in under a week, no wonder).Nakanishi appears in a video on the official Resident Evil Twitter account to thank players for being so into the game, saying: "On behalf of the development team, I want to extend our heartfelt gratitude". And to express that gratitude, he confirms some updates for the game, including "the much-awaited photo mode," although there was no release date given for this. Perhaps more exciting is "another surprise coming around May: we're planning to add a minigame." While Nakanishi didn't name-drop exactly what this minigame will be, it's gotta be The Mercenaries right? You don't make a Leon Kennedy that feels that incredible to play as only to not let him let loose in The Mercenaries.
