Resident Evil Requiem story DLC possibly in late 2027; Veronica DLC rumor for 2028

• According to rumors from Pirat_Nation and Dusk Golem, the Requiem expansion could arrive in late 2027 and may center on Leon, though that is not officially confirmed.
• The same rumor round also mentions a possible story DLC for Resident Evil Veronica, with 2028 cited as the timeframe, while Capcom has only announced the remake for 2027.

What happened

Capcom previously said that Resident Evil Requiem will receive a story expansion. In the official information available so far, the only confirmed detail is that the DLC is in development; the publisher has not revealed a title, content, characters, or a release window. That means the confirmation is limited to the existence of a planned expansion for Requiem.

New rumors then surfaced via Pirat_Nation and Dusk Golem. In that version of events, the Requiem DLC could launch in late 2027. The same rumor round also names Leon as a possible central character, but that detail does not come from an official Capcom announcement and remains speculation. The source paraphrase also refers to an earlier DLC for Requiem called "Leon Must Die Forever," which, according to that same account, arrived within a few months of the game’s official launch.

The same rumor cycle also mentions a possible story DLC for Resident Evil Veronica. In the available context, that project is the official 2027 remake of Resident Evil Code: Veronica, but the alleged expansion would not arrive until 2028. Capcom has not announced such a DLC, has not given a release date, and has not confirmed any content. The only official Veronica information in the context is the remake itself, not an extra expansion.

Background

Resident Evil Requiem is the game for which Capcom has already publicly confirmed a story expansion. The publisher has not officially shared the content, name, or release date, so any specific timing such as late 2027 comes from leak and rumor reports rather than Capcom itself.

The Requiem rumors are linked in the available context to Pirat_Nation and Dusk Golem. The source paraphrase also suggests a possible focus on Leon, but that detail has not been confirmed by Capcom. The same applies to the idea that Capcom may want to place more content expansions between mainline releases; in the source text, that is an interpretation of a supposed strategy, not an official policy.

Resident Evil Veronica is, in the available context, the official 2027 remake of Resident Evil Code: Veronica. Capcom has publicly announced that remake, but has not spoken about any additional DLC for the project. The cited 2028 release for a Veronica story DLC comes solely from the rumor round and has not been confirmed by Capcom.

The combination of a confirmed Requiem DLC and a rumored Veronica DLC means two separate things need to be kept apart. The first is an officially announced expansion in development for Resident Evil Requiem. The second is an unconfirmed story about a possible expansion for Resident Evil Veronica, with 2028 appearing only in leak and rumor reports.
