Capcom has acknowledged the extensive leaks of Resident Evil Requiem and has promised to take firm action against those responsible. In a statement published on social media, Capcom stated that numerous gameplay videos circulating online, some containing spoilers from the game’s ending, appear to have been obtained through illegal means, constituting copyright infringement and an offense to other customers. The statement reads: “We have found a large number of Resident Evil Requiem gameplay videos that appear to have been obtained illegally. For the benefit of our customers eagerly awaiting this game, we ask that you refrain from publishing or posting gameplay videos on streaming services or social media before the game’s release. Publishing game images before release is not just copyright infringement but also an offense to other customers.” Capcom will focus on removing the videos and issuing warnings to posters. This follows a prior incident on February 20, 2026, when the company accidentally released physical copies of Resident Evil: Final Chapter ahead of schedule, resulting in spoilers reaching fans early. IGN confirmed the validity of those leaked spoilers, which included details from the game’s final scenes.
