In a quirky promotional stunt ahead of Resident Evil Requiem’s release, the Resident Evil franchise's official Japanese X account has humorously staged a fake lawsuit where the evil Umbrella Corp. claims that real-life Nissin Noodles infringes upon their fictional Umbrella Noodles. Umbrella Noodles features in the Resident Evil series, including past games like Resident Evil Outbreak and the Resident Evil 3 remake. To heighten the drama, a satirical video was shared showing an Umbrella Corp. scientist apologizing for Nissin's alleged imitation, while Nissin fired back with witty retorts. The marketing has sparked laughter on social media and hints that Umbrella Noodles might even make an appearance in the upcoming Resident Evil Requiem, which has received a favorable 9/10 review score.
