Capcom has spoken out after many leaked gameplay videos of its upcoming game, Resident Evil: Requiem, appeared online. The company said the videos were shared through “illegal means” and promised to take firm action against people posting spoilers. The game is set to release worldwide on February 27, 2026, and Capcom is asking fans not to share or watch the leaked content so others can enjoy the story without it being spoiled.
According to IGN, full gameplay videos — including big story spoilers and even the ending — have been posted on social media and video platforms. Capcom believes these copies were obtained through illegal means. The company said sharing the footage is copyright infringement and harms other players who want to enjoy the story without knowing what happens.
Capcom said it will take firm action against people posting the leaked content. This includes sending warnings and filing takedown requests to remove videos from online platforms.
IGN confirmed that the leaked videos are real. However, the outlet said it will not share story details or reveal the ending.
On X (Twitter), people had different reactions to the Resident Evil: Requiem leaks. One person said it is upsetting because developers work for years on a game, especially the ending, and early spoilers can ruin the fun for players who want to experience it themselves.
Another user made a sarcastic comment, saying that if the game only leaked 10 days before release, Capcom actually did better than usual.
A third person warned that fake leaks are also spreading online and could trick fans into believing something that is not true.
Capcom explained that Resident Evil: Requiem is built around mystery and tension. The company said spoilers could ruin the experience, especially with the launch less than a week away. It asked fans not to repost clips or spread story details.
Recent previews have described the game as a mix of classic and modern ideas, with two main characters. At the same time, an ultra-limited edition of the game in Japan — which includes special exercise equipment — has already sold out.
With release day close, Capcom is asking players to wait for the official launch and respect others who want to experience the game fresh.
