muscles.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s known as Leon Must Die Forever, and is as chill as you would imagine. Remember last month when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/resident-evil-requiem-minigame-dlc-combat\">Requiem&#8217;s director Koshi Nakanishi said we should all &#8216;sharpen our tomahawks&#8217; in anticipation<\/a>? Well, I can see why he said that now.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Unlocked by completing the story, this additional minigame mode challenges you to clear numerous stages as Leon while unlocking exclusive enhancer abilities,&#8221; reads the official blurb for Leon Must Die Forever, with Capcom promising &#8220;fast-paced action&#8221; which  is &#8220;distinct&#8221; from Resident Evil Requiem&#8217;s main story mode.<\/p>\n<p>The studio added Leon Must Die Forever is &#8220;packed&#8221; with replay value. &#8220;Can you make it to the end alive and defeat the boss within the time limit?&#8221; the developer asks. Well, knowing my rather chaotic gameplay style, probably not, no.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"injection_placeholder\" data-position=\"1\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>But, if you are much more competent than me, and already think this all sounds like a walk in the park, Capcom has also added a super duper difficulty level, which it says is only for Requiem&#8217;s most confident players, so sorry Grace, I don&#8217;t think this one will be for you. As for what this all means, all Capcom has said is &#8220;True to the title, you&#8217;ll &#8216;die forever&#8217;&#8230;&#8221; Gulp.<\/p>\n<p>You can check out the trailer for Resident Evil Requiem&#8217;s Leon Must Die Forever mode below. Also, is it just me that thinks this could be a reference to the now-classic Devil May Cry mode &#8216;Dante Must Die&#8217;?
