Resident Evil Requiem and Veronica Remake Could Get Several-Hour DLC
The claim also points to possible story expansions for future Resident Evil games as Capcom's current release pipeline takes shape.
Capcom may be preparing large single-player story expansions for both Resident Evil Requiem and the upcoming Resident Evil Veronica remake, according to a claim from Resident Evil insider Dusk Golem.
The comment suggests Capcom has turned its attention toward DLC because it currently has no Resident Evil spin-offs in development. The proposed expansions would reportedly run for several hours and could also be made for future games in the series.
Resident Evil Requiem and Veronica DLC Are Only Claims for Now
Dusk Golem shared the information on July 27, 2026, while responding to discussion about Capcom’s plans for new Resident Evil spin-offs. The post described the DLC as a temporary answer to the lack of spin-off projects and said the company had focused on these story expansions over the last few months.
Neither Capcom nor the development teams have confirmed the reported plans in the available information. The claim also does not provide release dates, pricing, platforms, or details about the stories that could be included.
Resident Evil Requiem is Capcom’s 2026 release, while the Resident Evil Veronica remake is planned for 2027. If the reported production order is accurate, Requiem’s story DLC may arrive after the Veronica remake rather than shortly after Requiem’s launch.
The timing would place any Requiem expansion well after the main game’s release. It also suggests Capcom could use longer story DLC to keep its modern Resident Evil lineup active between major releases instead of relying only on separate spin-off games.
Dusk Golem has previously shared Resident Evil-related information, but this remains an insider claim rather than an official Capcom announcement. More concrete details would be needed before the scope or schedule of either expansion can be treated as confirmed.
*cough Capcom's temporary solution to there being no spin-offs in the works is they've in the last few months decided to focus on major several hour long DLC story expansions for Resident Evil Requiem & Veronica, & possibly future RE titles to fit into current pipeline cough* https://t.co/wxOPqjxC68
