The DLC "Leon Must Die Forever" received mixed reviews: some criticize the lack of fresh content, while others praise the hardcore action.

The release of the new DLC "Leon Must Die Forever" for the horror game Resident Evil Requiem has split the Capcom fan community into two camps. This addition departs from the slow-paced horror of the original campaign starring Grace, offering intense action where the main character is once again Leon S. Kennedy.However, many gamers expressed disappointment. The main complaint was that the audience expected the return of the classic "Mercenaries" mode, familiar from RE 4 and Village. Additionally, players criticize the DLC for being derivative: the levels are almost entirely copied from the main storyline. In spirit and mechanics (high difficulty, one life, roguelike elements), the new release resembles the "Ethan Must Die" challenge from RE 7. However, the DLC also has advantages noted by another part of the fanbase: the roguelike structure provides high replayability, and the perk system adds depth. Moreover, devoted Leon fans are simply happy to control their idol again. Recall that sales of Resident Evil Requiem on PC and current consoles (including Switch 2) have already surpassed 7 million copies.
