Insider Dusk Golem has revealed that Capcom is reportedly looking to invest heavily in producing large-scale story DLCs for the Resident Evil franchise, which includes this year’s Resident Evil Requiem, which we know is getting new content at an undisclosed date.
Speaking in a series of posts on X, Golem, who has a solid track record when it comes to Resident Evil and Silent Hill news, stated that the story DLCs will be around the “length & ambition as Separate Ways/Shadow of Rose,” which released for Resident Evil 4 Remake and Resident Evil Village, respectively. He also reiterated that RE Requiem’s expansion is not going to come out until after Resident Evil Veronica, which arrives next year.
“It also will help fill their schedule of releases in-between the bigger RE games,” he continued. He also added that “[Resident Evil] Veronica is ‘all hands on deck’ at the moment to see if they can get it finished for Q1 2027,” but stated it may be delayed to Q2 if necessary.
Capcom announced earlier this year that it was producing story DLC for Resident Evil Requiem, but didn’t provide any additional information at the time. It’s since released the mini game Leon Must Die Forever as a free update, as well as a Photo Mode.
Resident Evil Requiem was released in February 2026 for PS5, PC, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X/S, and you can have a gander at our full verdict here. The game takes place around 28 years after the Raccoon City incident (as depicted in RE2 & RE3), and sees Leon teaming up with newcomer Grace Ashcroft as they investigate a series of mysterious deaths linked to survivors of the T-Virus outbreak, eventually leading them back to the now-destroyed Raccoon City.
Meanwhile, Resident Evil Veronica – a remake of 2000’s Resident Evil CODE – Veronica – is slated to arrive on PS5, PC, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X/S in 2027. Beyond that, Capcom is reportedly working on a Resident Evil Zero Remake for 2028, with Golem stating that the game was rebooted mid-development and is now being handle by Capcom Division 1.
