Unlocked after completing the main story campaign, this new mode offers an intense, combat-focused experience starring Leon S. Kennedy.
Leon Must Die Forever tasks players with revisiting campaign locations to take down strengthened enemies and reach a final boss before the timer expires.
Progression: The mode features five escalating difficulty levels.
Enhancer Abilities: Players can unlock exclusive special skills by filling an “enhancement bar” through enemy eliminations.
Roguelite Elements: Area order, progression paths, and available skill options are randomized in every run to ensure high replayability.

The latest patch also brings significant quality-of-life improvements, particularly for PC players. The game now offers full native support for DualSense controller features, including:
Adaptive triggers
Haptic feedback
Motion sensor controls
New collectibles: apparel and Resident Evil Amiibos
Beyond the digital update, Capcom is expanding the Resident Evil brand with new physical merchandise:
