Capcom Responds to Resident Evil Requiem Leaks with Firm Stance on Copyright Infringement
Capcom, the renowned publisher and developer behind the acclaimed Resident Evil franchise, has issued a clear and decisive response following the early appearance of Resident Evil Requiem gameplay footage online.
The footage, which surfaced ahead of the official release date, was reportedly obtained through unauthorized means and has been widely circulated on social media and video sharing platforms.
Resident Evil Requiem, also known as Biohazard Requiem in Japan, has been one of the most anticipated titles in the iconic survival horror series.
With upcoming availability on Nintendo Switch and other major platforms, excitement among fans has been running high, especially in the lead-up to the game's formal release.
Capcom's commitment to delivering a polished and suspenseful experience has contributed to its strong sales figures and sustained popularity within the genre. In a formally translated statement, Capcom addressed its fanbase: The company has acknowledged multiple instances where gameplay videos appeared online before the official launch, attributing these leaks to improper acquisition of the game.
Capcom earnestly requested that players refrain from sharing or posting Resident Evil Requiem footage on any digital platform prior to the release date. The official message underlined two important points: posting such content constitutes copyright infringement under law, and early distribution of spoilers diminishes the overall experience for the broader player base.
Capcom has stated that they will implement strict consequences, including the immediate removal of infringing materials and issuing formal warnings.
The company further asked the community to avoid viewing or sharing any leaked videos to protect the game's narrative and preserve the experience for all fans. “Through this title, our aim is to present a story filled with mystery and tension, alongside gameplay that challenges players in new ways,” a Capcom representative explained.
The message concluded with a direct appeal to the community for understanding and cooperation: "We appreciate your efforts in helping ensure that everyone can fully enjoy Resident Evil Requiem upon its release." As the official launch date draws near, Capcom’s proactive handling of this situation reinforces its ongoing dedication to high-quality game releases, fair play, and respect for both creators and fans alike.
Resident Evil Requiem’s debut on Nintendo Switch and other platforms remains highly anticipated, with Capcom urging all gamers to safeguard the community’s excitement until the launch.
