Hideki Kamiya, a veteran known for his work on the Resident Evil franchise and titles like Devil May Cry, has strongly condemned recent leaks of Resident Evil Requiem. The game’s content began appearing online days before its official release, impacting the planned reveal for fans.
Kamiya characterized the leaks as a “despicable” act that undermines both the player experience and the creative team’s efforts. He stated on social media that those responsible for spreading spoilers “deserve a thousand deaths,” a comment that quickly sparked debate within the gaming community regarding its harsh tone.
The leaks occurred after physical copies of the game were distributed to some users ahead of schedule, leading to the online dissemination of videos, story details, and complete gameplay footage across various platforms. In response, Capcom reportedly intensified legal measures and content removal requests to curb the spread of spoilers. This highlights the challenges game developers face in protecting intellectual property and controlling the flow of information in the digital age.
The company as well made a public appeal to fans, requesting they refrain from sharing leaked information to preserve the narrative experience for those anticipating playing the title without prior knowledge of key plot points.
