Capcom kindly asks everyone to stop spoiling Resident Evil Requiem: ‘We really want everyone to enjoy the game’s story’

Resident Evil Requiem is only a week away, but that hasn't stopped numerous leakers from sharing the game's content, including major story beats, with everyone. From streams to Reddit posts to clips on X, RE9 is being spread like wildfire, and it's not even out yet. And Capcom has had enough of that. In a short statement on X, the company has kindly asked players to stop sharing the game around before it launches on Feb. 27, as it wishes for "everyone to enjoy the game's story and experience as much as possible." Before the leaks, significant plot points were spoken of in discussions and theories, with fans believing this could be one of the most consequential Resident Evil stories ever told.https://twitter.com/re_games/status/2024835538251923590 I'm in that boat and would never want the surprise to be spoiled for me, because what would even be the point of playing the game? Those who do not comply and continue to release high-profile leaks will feel the wrath of Capcom's lawyers, who seem very trigger-happy now that the cat's really out of the bag. "Our legal department will continue to issue takedowns and deletion notices for leaks in order to preserve your day-one experience," the company stated. Resident Evil Requiem comes out on Feb. 27, i.e., next weekend, as of this article. People are so restless that they couldn't have borne to wait another seven days to see things for themselves, but just had to indulge in leaks and spoilers and, what's worse, in spoiling it for others.
