Resident Evil Requiem Director Reveals Story Expansion “Delving Deeper into the World,” Plus Photo Mode and a New Minigame That Had Better Be Mercenaries

It definitely sounds like Capcom is keeping the door open for some fan-favorite characters to show up in the story expansion, and Jill Valentine would be a natural pick. Nakanishi didn’t give specifics, but saying they’ll “dive deeper into the world of Requiem” and teasing a story expansion implies that existing characters and unresolved threads could get more spotlight.

Given the timeline of past DLCs in the series—like Shadows of Rose after RE Village, or Not a Hero and End of Zoe for RE7—the expansion probably won’t hit this year, but it’s reasonable to hope Jill could play a role. At the very least, the hints about minigames and expansions suggest Capcom wants to extend the world in ways that let iconic characters return, so fans holding out for Jill aren’t necessarily out of luck.

If you want, I can break down the most likely RE Requiem characters who could appear in the story DLC, based on narrative clues and Capcom’s past patterns.
