A fresh datamine of Capcom’s latest survival horror game, Resident Evil Requiem, has hinted at the game’s upcoming minigame bringing back Mercenaries mode.
Modding enthusiast MasyaSYRKOV took to Twitter/X to share their findings from a recent datamine of Resident Evil Requiem game files, which led to the discovery of music tracks not featured in the base game, suggesting that the upcoming free minigame confirmed by Capcom may be related to a future Extra/ Mercenaries mode.

Last month, Capcom confirmed that a story expansion for Resident Evil Requiem is in development. The update was shared by director Koshi Nakanishi in a video message posted on the official Resident Evil X account. During the message, Nakanishi revealed that the development team is working on additional narrative content that will further explore the game’s world. “We are planning to make extra story content. In this story, we will delve deeper into the world of Requiem. We’re hard at work on it now. It will take some time, so we ask for your patience and hope you’ll look forward to it.” No release window was announced for the expansion, though the director indicated that development is ongoing and will require more time before it is ready.
Alongside the story expansion, Capcom also confirmed a number of additional updates for the game. A photo mode was recently added via an update, allowing players to capture scenes during gameplay. The developers are also preparing to introduce a new minigame, which is scheduled to arrive in May, 2026.
Resident Evil Requiem was released on February 27, 2026, across the PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC. The game features a dual protagonist structure, allowing players to alternate between Leon S. Kennedy and a new character, FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft.
