Capcom's Resident Evil Requiem has quietly added a fully-featured roguelike bonus mode. The update includes multiple environmental paths, on-the-fly ability enhancements, new enemy variants, boss fights, and a meta-progression system.
Capcom data shows 90% of Resident Evil Requiem players stuck with third-person for Leon's sections, while Grace's horror segments were more split at 60% first-person, 40% third-person.
After six years in development, Capcom's Pragmata launched to strong sales — hitting 1 million copies in just two days. Capcom is now teasing that the new IP could have a future as a franchise.
Capcom raised FY2026 net profit guidance from ¥51,000 million to ¥54,500 million on April 27, a 6.9% increase. The company credited Resident Evil Requiem and stronger catalog sales, and it also lifted the full-year dividend forecast to ¥45 per share.
Resident Evil Requiem has passed 7 million copies by April 24, with director Koshi Nakanishi sharing the milestone on Instagram. Capcom’s latest entry launched February 27 on PS5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, and PC, and had last been reported at 6 million on March 16.
Capcom’s PRAGMATA is live on Steam with an Apr 16, 2026 release date, a $59.99 US price, Windows-only platform support, and a 40 GB storage requirement.
Kotaku reported Apr 15 that Capcom legal asked YouTuber GrizzoUK to remove adult-oriented Resident Evil mod videos, and the channel was briefly terminated before YouTube reinstated it. The r/Games post had 735 points and 229 comments at crawl time.
Pragmata hit an 87 OpenCritic average with 94% of critics recommending it on April 13, days before Capcom's April 17 Steam launch. The /r/Games review thread crossed 500 comments quickly, with much of the early reaction centering on Capcom shipping a new IP that actually landed.
UnGeek reports that Resident Evil Requiem has reached a 70% completion rate on Steam and 66.9% on PS5 a little over a month after launch. Based on story-clear achievement and trophy data, the result stands out even among recent AAA horror releases.
Kotaku reports that Capcom re-released Resident Evil 1, 2, and 3 on Steam with Enigma DRM, reigniting complaints about performance, Linux support, and Steam Deck compatibility. The backlash is sharper because Capcom only recently rolled back similar DRM changes in Resident Evil 4.
r/Games surfaced a notable PC back-catalog move: the original Resident Evil trilogy on PC and Breath of Fire IV are now on Steam, bringing older Capcom releases into the platform with updated rendering, localization, and quality-of-life work tied to the earlier GOG versions.
Capcom says Pragmata has gone gold, giving the long-delayed sci-fi action game a firmer runway into its April 17, 2026 launch on console and PC.
