Resident Evil Requiem DLC and Resident Evil 10 Release Dates Accelerate Based on Insider Reports

Capcom's Resident Evil roadmap appears more aggressive than previously believed, with Requiem DLC targeting late 2026 and Resident Evil 10 potentially launching by 2029, according to reliable leaker Dusk Golem.

Reliable Resident Evil insider Dusk Golem (AestheticGamer) suggests Capcom's horror franchise is accelerating its release cadence. Despite Resident Evil Requiem not yet launching, development on its post-launch DLC is reportedly advancing quickly, with a late 2026 target. More surprising is the claim that Resident Evil 10 could arrive as early as 2029—significantly sooner than the series' traditional 4-5 year gaps between mainline entries.

According to Dusk Golem's social media updates, the Requiem DLC will focus on Alyssa Ashcroft, mother of the main game's protagonist Grace Ashcroft. Though Grace dies at Requiem's outset, the DLC's narrative occurs before the core events, exploring Alyssa's storyline. Leon Kennedy remains playable alongside Grace in the base game, but Alyssa's perspective forms the DLC backbone. Capcom hasn't confirmed specifics, but the insider notes this content aims to release swiftly after Requiem's campaign concludes.

The shortened timeline for Resident Evil 10 stems from production adjustments. Dusk Golem reveals that Requiem (marketed as Resident Evil 9) endured multiple delays, but parallel development allowed RE10 to progress uninterrupted. Unlike Requiem, which concludes arcs for legacy characters, RE10 will initiate a new storyline in an original setting. Though unlikely to carry the "10" designation officially, it represents the next main series evolution.

This accelerated schedule aligns with Capcom's recent pledge to bolster development resources, countering industry-wide AAA production slowdowns. Two remakes support this strategy: NateTheHate2 corroborates a Resident Evil Code: Veronica remake for early 2027, followed by a Resident Evil 0 reimagining in 2028. This pipeline could prevent delays for Requiem's DLC and RE10.

While Dusk Golem's track record lends credibility—including accurate predictions about Requiem's dual protagonists—all dates remain tentative. Capcom's resource expansion may enable tighter release windows, but fans should monitor official announcements for confirmation. For now, the outlook suggests more frequent high-quality Resident Evil experiences through the decade's end.
