Capcom is firing on all cylinders in early 2026, having delivered two critically acclaimed back-to-back hits in Resident Evil Requiem and Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection. The latest entry in the legendary survival horror franchise has been particularly dominant, having already surpassed 6 million copies sold, eclipsing its predecessors in the process. The Japanese studio shows no signs of slowing down, continuing to refine and update Leon and Grace’s new adventure while a first DLC waits in the wings.
Over-the-shoulder camera mode arrives in Resident Evil Requiem
This new update follows the version 1.1.1 patch released earlier this month, which addressed several progression issues and brought broader gameplay improvements. Resident Evil Requiem today’s update continues that work, ironing out a few remaining rough edges, but its headline addition is the long-requested Photo Mode, now accessible directly from the pause menu. Alongside Photo Mode, the update patches a bug that was blocking progression “under certain conditions,” corrects typos across several languages, and adjusts character facial expressions in specific cutscenes to better convey emotion and make those moments land with greater impact.
Only one major franchise staple is still missing from the package: the iconic Mercenaries mode. Capcom hasn’t addressed it publicly yet, but it seems a reasonable bet that it will arrive in the not-too-distant future, potentially alongside the upcoming DLC, which currently has no confirmed release date.
