Expansion and DLCs Announced for Resident Evil Requiem & Forbidden Requiel for Resident Evil 9

A week after Resident Evil: Requiem sold five million copies, Capcom announced upcoming content, including a story expansion and a DLC update adding a photo mode. Game director Koshi Nakanishi thanked the community in a social media post, also announcing that the May update would include the photo mode and a minigame, possibly the Mercenaries mode. Nakanishi then confirmed the story expansion, playfully referencing fan-made memes about it. The Resident Evil: Requiem expansion, titled "Story Expansion In Development," will allow players to further explore the game's universe, continuing the narrative from the game's ending. Nakanishi stated that development is underway but will "take some time," asking fans for their patience. Separately, Capcom officially announced a DLC for Resident Evil 9 also titled Requiem. A video shows Leon Kennedy with a possible love interest, accompanied by the words "Forbidden Requiem," sparking fan discussion. This has led to speculation about a connection to the Resident Evil 9 story. In Resident Evil: Requiem, Leon appears to be wearing a ring. Capcom shared news of the Requiem DLC and the promise of a more in-depth exploration of the game's world via social media on March 10th.

Game info

Official Name
Capcom Fighting All-Stars
Brief Summary
The shadow of fear was approaching Metro City. A man only known as Death, was running around Metro City with a bomb. The bomb was codenamed "Laughter Sun". Mayor Mike Haggar contacted the characters listed above in order to locate and defeat Death and then defuse the bomb. Codes were needed to disarm the bomb, and that is where the Code Holders subtitle of the game comes into play. D.D. and his teammates, Rook and Ingrid, were the Code Holders. Their codes are Ogre, Fallen Angel, and Isis. The game had a time limit, and depending of how long the player took to finish the game, the ending would vary. Originally, Capcom Fighting All-Stars was planned to be a 2D sequel to Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001, before being converted to 3D. However, due to SNK's financial troubles and restructuring, the title was redesigned as a Capcom-only crossover with twenty former SNK members designing it, using the models previously built for the original title. Like SNK's KOF: Maximum Impact games, it was designed to translate a 2D fighting game series into 3D. This was done previously in the Street Fighter EX series, which Capcom co-produced with Arika. Capcom beta-tested the game, but after negative feedback from players and more months in development, the game was canceled in August 2003. According to an interview with former The King of Fighters director Toyohisa Tanabe, a secret character from Tanabe's old company (SNK) was set to be playable in Capcom Fighting All Stars.. While not confirmed, the figure bears a heavy resemblance to K' or Kyo Kusanagi.
