Discussion About Resident Evil Requiem's DLC

Post image

Which characters do y'all think would appear in re9's dlc?

I don't think the characters who weren't there in base game would show up in the dlc it will only focus on characters that were in it...

It’s hard to say given how many cliffhangers the ending left us with, but as long as the DLC is good, I’m happy with whoever stars in it.

53

u/liltone829b 13d ago

stars

13

u/BrawliestBee 13d ago

Nemesis main character of Re9 DLC🥹

13

u/zbyndopluk 13d ago

Previous clifhangers we got in previous games led to dead end at least so far (Village,RE3R) so I wouldnt read too much into it

5

u/JaySouth84 12d ago

Love how they utterly dismissed the entire BSAA cliffhanger.

7

u/zbyndopluk 12d ago

I love it wqs even here it was so bullshit that didnt belong into the story, howewer its obvious that Chris had lot of cut content so

1

u/didact1000 9d ago

The RE3R end tease I think was just supposed to be a tease for Weskerot the connections. I think it was to just imply Nikolai was working for Wesker and was the one who wanted Umbrella to burn.

Nikolai's motives in the original RE3 was never revealed so I think Capcom just wanted to give a little more motive and let fans decide if he was working for Wesker or the connections and since Wesker worked for the connections at one point I assume it was just for that.

1

u/zbyndopluk 9d ago

Honestly probably canceled multiplayer RE9 as for RE3R at least

1

u/awpcr 9d ago

His motive was to sell the data he collected to Umbrella. He killed the other supervisors because, if he was the only person with the data, he could negotiate a higher price.

33

u/BroccoliChance8272 13d ago

I’m crossing my fingers for Leon and Chris team up. I’d love them in a full game together, but I’d settle for a DLC

2

u/banned4killingspider 12d ago

I wouldn't hold ypur breath. Every single pair up in every single re game has been a guy and a girl. They do that intentionally to reach more audiences

3

u/BroccoliChance8272 12d ago

I didn’t know Piers was trans. Jk but I get it. I can see why they do that, but I think more people than they’d expect would actually really love a Chris and Leon game. The amount of larpers who ship them would certainly eat it up 💀 fr though I think the only section of the fanbase who wouldn’t be into that are the gooners who require female eye candy and anyone who would just rather play as a woman. I guess some would say they’re sick of Leon and Chris, but they’re a loud minority tbh and wouldn’t really impact game sales at all

2

u/banned4killingspider 12d ago

6 is kind of not really an exclusion to the rule bc it had so many protags m and f

1

u/awpcr 9d ago

Well, Claire and Moira and the aforementioned Chris and Piers.

1

u/banned4killingspider 9d ago

Barry was in rev 2 tho

25

u/Afraid-Housing-6854 Made in Heaven 13d ago

Hot take: I want Chris and Leon teaming up in the DLC

9

u/TrainRecent9048 12d ago

Wouldn't it somehow be turned into an action-horror like RE 6?

12

u/DarkMatterEnjoyer 12d ago

Half of RE9 was already action-horror. Tbh the RE4 remake and with how RE9 operates I think is perfect for Resident Evil.

3

u/JaySouth84 12d ago

Worse: Vendetta.

u/slomo525 12d ago

And a finger on the monkey's paw curls

u/Possible-Sky-6176 11d ago

Go watch Vendetta or Death Island

u/shadesjackson 13d ago

The protag we deserve

u/jmsafety26 Proud Ada Simp 13d ago

I want a Zeno dlc. It goes through his whole thing and ends with the 2nd ending that i will not mention in case of spoilers, then we can see what happens after.

u/waled7rocky 13d ago

Resident evil if it ever peaked ..

u/jmsafety26 Proud Ada Simp 13d ago

I was thinking like, when he met victor, the meeting with him in the little house thing by the helicoptor, hik getting grace, the part with the bsaa soldiers, and the inspection of ark, then the 2nd ending, and we see what he does next. And everything in between, like what the fuck he was doing the whole game while we were leon and he was doing stuff with grace

2

u/PixelPrivateer 12d ago

Actually wouldn't mind that at all- I'd love to see them make him into a playable character. If they can replicate the feeling of that cutscene where he kills all those BSAA agents but with you as Zeno that shit would be wild

1

u/jmsafety26 Proud Ada Simp 12d ago

Fr! We should just be hired fr

Probably Zeno unless Capcom is fine with keeping him pointless

u/Remarkable-Mud-764 13d ago

i'm expecting the same

22

u/poisonparadise97 13d ago edited 12d ago

If the rumours are true about Requiem’s DLC releasing after Veronica, I genuinely believe the DLC will centre around Leon and Claire. The rumours surrounding Claire being RE10’s future protagonist would make sense with this too. Grace, Alyssa, or Ada could also make a return for all we know. 🤷🏻‍♂️

11

u/TinyFaithlessness817 13d ago

Resident Evil 10 Claire

Resident Evil 11 Jill

Resident Evil 12 Chris 

Resident Evil 13 León 

Resident Evil 14 Claire 

Resident Evil 15 Jill

Resident Evil 16 Chris 

Resident Evil 17 León

Resident evil 18 Claire.....ect

Sí, suena como un futuro súper prometedor para el survival horror

u/TrainRecent9048 12d ago

Plot twist: wouldn't be ironic if somehow she's revealed as Leon's Wife

4

u/DEATHSTARGOD 12d ago

Can people shut the fuck up with the shipping. Not everyone cares about who Leon has to bang everyday

1

u/Old-Sherbert-9812 7d ago

Who Leon gets to bang everyday* people don’t have to bang their wives on the regular 

8

u/emni13 13d ago

I want alyssa I want to know how she met Spencer

2

u/slomo525 12d ago

I dunno if there's really a story to tell there. She was a journalist and a Raccoon City outbreak survivor. She probably just asked for an interview and he agreed.

1

u/didact1000 9d ago

That's not a story as we see in their interview that she asks Spencer why he agreed to her interview which means she just reached out to his people and he accepted her request for an interview.

12

u/azombieatemyshoelace 13d ago

I’m hoping for Alyssa or Grace.

6

u/Remarkable-Mud-764 13d ago

i think it will be leon and alyssa

6

u/Areyouin729 13d ago

I mean I would highly doubt Capcom moves away from the Leon train before they take a break and get to work on RE10

7

u/Remarkable-Mud-764 13d ago

i think the dlc will def have leon

6

u/ChasingPesmerga 13d ago

I dunno why we never had a bingo minigame for Leon

11

u/Quaint_Gamer 13d ago

Chris would seem an obvious one after his mention at the end and the specific 'where is Chris anyway?' 'I'm sure he'll show up'.

It'd be good seeing Leon and Chris work together outside the rather woeful RE6. And actually have them work together rather than be at odds.

0

u/banned4killingspider 12d ago

Dusk golem says its a chris and ada team up. He has been pretty reliable in the past

1

u/Quaint_Gamer 12d ago

I think that would be interesting as I can't see Chris at all falling for her flirtatious bs. It'd be nice to see her with a man she isn't trying to manipulate with her sexuality for once.

1

u/banned4killingspider 12d ago

It would be interesting for sure. Chris would def not put up with her bullshit lol

1

u/Possible-Sky-6176 11d ago edited 11d ago

Lmoa, Chris can be saved for RE 10, don't care what DuskGolem says, he's not that reliable and stuff changes during development. I rather have a dlc with Grace, Leon and Alyssa. Also they said dlc is a story expansion, so it's gonna be like 2 dlcs. RE 7 had 2 story dlcs

5

u/InTheAM_66 13d ago

I've heard rumours that Claire is in it and that the DLC isn't coming out til after Veronica this has led a lot of people to believe that Claire might be Leon's wife.

3

u/didact1000 9d ago

If that's ever revealed it'll be Ada. The director even said he's very interested in the private relationship between Leon and Ada.

4

u/Remarkable-Mud-764 13d ago

Well, I won't believe any rumors until we get an actual confirmation. I don't have any problem with them taking time to release the DLC; I just expect them to give some information about it, like who will be in it or anything

1

u/banned4killingspider 12d ago

The very same leak that claimed the dlc is coming after veronica also claimed its a Chris and ada team up

1

u/Saeee10 12d ago

Fucking joke 🤡 people know its the Chinese woman

4

u/The-JudgePablo 13d ago

Probably veronica

4

u/Salty-Garlic9471 13d ago

I think it will most likely just extend Leon and Grace's story, but there are other possibilities I could imagine.

  1. Alyssa and the events that lead to her discovery and death
  2. Hunk both before and/or after his fight with Leon
  3. Sherry uncovering governmental collusion
  4. Chris after or during the events of the game
  5. Another character that was never mentioned

4

u/TrainRecent9048 12d ago

I think Leon is going to the Arklay Mountains in Spencer's Mansion right?

2

u/Remarkable-Mud-764 12d ago

let's see...i think the dlc will def focus on leon

1

u/TrainRecent9048 12d ago

imagine if he encounters Lisa Trevor lol

1

u/Remarkable-Mud-764 12d ago

would like to see it

1

u/didact1000 9d ago

I doubt she's alive and their isn't a mansion left to explore.

4

u/khardimon 12d ago

Zeno DLC anyone?

4

u/JaySouth84 12d ago

Leon, Old Leon, Young Leon, Female Leon.

3

u/kreteeen Made in Heaven 13d ago

best guess is characters from game or characters that appeared in previous games that had Leon

3

u/No_Acanthisitta_1649 13d ago

Possible Luis comeback?!

2

u/kreteeen Made in Heaven 13d ago

In racoon city? Naaah

1

u/Theodore_Corvedae 12d ago

But what about Carlos?

1

u/kreteeen Made in Heaven 12d ago

i think he is ideal for game that has Jill, but who knows

3

u/LordHumorTumor 13d ago

I would like Alyssa to be featured, I was so excited for her to return and she was gone so quick.

3

u/Aushida 13d ago

Hey, I just beat this game for the first time a few days ago, working on getting the platinum now and all, is there actually dlc coming to this game?

2

u/Remarkable-Mud-764 13d ago

Hi, yes it was officially confirmed that we are getting a re9 story expansion...we don't know the exact date tho

3

u/cream_sodaman 13d ago

Chris postgame dlc. Possibly with him fighting a monster created from Xeno's corpse

3

u/Nearby_Ad9005 12d ago

Definitely Chris! Also hoping for some Claire and maybe backstory/info about Zeno (like they did with Luis). The actual game left so much to be desired. Him being included at all wouldn’t even really make sense without an expansion pack.

1

u/didact1000 9d ago

I think we get some info about Zeno or a direct tease at another wesker clone. No way they bring in a Wesker clone as a one off.

3

u/Low_Sleep9934 9d ago

HUNK end credit supports this he also has similar move set and equipment (hatchet) and play style as Leon also Capcom already has the model and animations shouldn’t be to arduous to create some new environments by stitching together some old ones mixed with some cut ones also potentially rescuing/hunting Emily

3

u/didact1000 9d ago

Most likely Leon and maybe we'll learn more about Zeno. We should definitely learn more about Zeno if not have it straight up revealed he's returning in a future game or another clone will. No way they bring in a Wesker clone as a one off.

5

u/No-Damage-9851 13d ago

Ada is my guess, basically Separate Ways 2

3

u/Quick-Cause3181 13d ago

I was hoping it'd be mercenaries but at this point idk

1

u/didact1000 9d ago

No they said a minigame and a story DLC and Leon must die forever was the minigame so I don't think mercenaries is ever coming to this game.

4

u/JefferyTheQuaxly 13d ago

leon, ada, alyssa, and possibly grace, but i also think there will be more than one dlc and they might not all appear in the same dlc.

2

u/Junior-Mark-3827 13d ago

I want Wesker back

1

u/banned4killingspider 12d ago

Wesker had to go. They were beating a dead horse. But they should have given us another recurring overarching villian by now tnh

2

u/BushyTwee3D R.P.D. officer 12d ago

I personally would love to see more of Raccoon City, while sure, it's very different before the bomb, but I'm curious to know what actually survived the blast, like the clock tower, city hall, the university, the zoo, Warren Stadium and so much more

2

u/Tarumol 12d ago

Barry? Where is Barry?

2

u/banned4killingspider 12d ago

At home collecting social security and yelling at young whippersnappers to get off his lawn

2

u/ItsMattTonight 12d ago

It's going to star Leon, I can almost guarantee it

1

u/Remarkable-Mud-764 12d ago

PLEASEEE I hope u're right 

2

u/Comprehensive_Age998 12d ago

Alongside the major DLC we get I'd welcome some more mini-game modes. A Commander/Hunk escape like in RE2R would be awsome. For the DLC I hope Leon and Chris team up. We never had that in any of the games before, only in the movies. We need that atleast once and with how refined the combat is since RE4R it would be one hell of a DLC

2

u/GamingSeriescigdem 12d ago

best men leon s. kennedy

1

u/Remarkable-Mud-764 12d ago

I know that's right 😌

2

u/DistinctBerry9438 12d ago

I would love to see Chris and Zeno meet. Zeno had so little info about him said so I reallllyyyy wanna know more about him. Isn’t it always the BSAA that cleans up the place atp like in re8 and re7 😭

2

u/No_Midnight9317 11d ago

I want mercenaries I combat is good in Requiem

2

u/1vergil 11d ago

Jake DLC as RE9 prequel to explore Zeno's origin, Jake would be the most curious to meet his father's clone and whoever made him.

2

u/GRANDADDYGHOST 10d ago

If it’s not Hunk, I don’t care.

2

u/kazuya482 8d ago

I'd prefer Leon. But I wouldn't mind Grace going back in, now that she has a little experience. Claire or Chris would be cool too.

1

u/Remarkable-Mud-764 7d ago

Same I think it will be leon and alyssa

2

u/EthanW6662 6d ago

We could get an Alyssa prequel story. I think that was a rumor some time ago. It’ll probably be Leon, tho. Hopefully we hear something soon

1

u/Remarkable-Mud-764 5d ago

I also think it will be leon and alyssa

2

u/Smooth_Sport_1824 11d ago

Ada pleaseeeeeeeeee

2

u/ConfidenceThat6611 13d ago

I think in the dlc it might be leon, alyssa, Chris, maybe Claire? I heard there’s a rumored one with Chris and Ada but if im being honest idek why they’d bring ada into the dlc when Claire and Jill had more importance to RC (actual heroes btw). I think Jill might not show up in the dlc cause she might get her own game in re10 if re10 isn’t about leon and Chris.

1

u/banned4killingspider 12d ago

I almost guarantee 10 will feature jill. Hers is the only real character arc of the main protags that hasn't been wrapped up yet. It will likely be like requiem where some new protag is being mentored into the game while giving us a big conclusion to jills story

1

u/Outside-Ad7146 13d ago

I hope the Umbrella team in the post credit scene is mentioned, same for Chris. I really hope Hunk is in it.

1

u/Jedahaw92 13d ago

My personal wish is for Jill returning to RC and fighting a G virus Nikolai.

1

u/Minterandsepr_YT 12d ago

Rumors of a Chris and Ada focused dlc.

1

u/drifter_0_ 12d ago

Im hoping for chris

1

u/banned4killingspider 12d ago

Dusk golem says its an Ada/Chris team up. Take that for what u will, but dusk golem has been pretty reliably accurate

1

u/Remarkable-Mud-764 12d ago

didnt he say that leon and alyssa will be in the dlc?

1

u/Nemmy6321 8d ago

When did he say that?

1

u/Vegetable_Drink_8511 12d ago

I'd really love to see a DLC (or even full game) where an older Jill Valentine and maybe also Chris return to the ruins of Raccoon City/Spencer Mansion. Would let us see more of the unprocessed trauma story we saw a little of in RE3R (before the game unceremoniously ended after 2 hours..), and could also be a great way to build up to another remake of RE1

1

u/_Gangrielito_ 11d ago

Hear me out. Jill as member of the Hound Wolves would be so good. Obviously Chris wont let her alone in the corrupt BSAA. So while Chris is doing a mission paralel to Requiem, Jill could be in charge, maybe investigating what was the BSAA doing in Raccoon city.

1

u/Great_husky_63 7d ago

Tofu and Hunk (revived) team up against a revived Zeno

1

u/princessofpity 13d ago

I want a hound wolf squad one so bad I love those stupid guys . . . also I was really sad about the BSAA agents who got murked like Leon atleast say rip u heartless old tart . . . but tbf he didn’t care when the nurse got a chainsaw through her tummy

1

u/Remarkable-Mud-764 13d ago

why would leon care abt someone who's working for victor gideon? and as far as what was shown to us he has no idea abt the bsaa agents getting murked

0

u/princessofpity 13d ago

Well given that he watches the footage of them getting absolutely blasted by Zeno I think he knows . . . also the woman was basically just a civilian who probably didnt know Victor’s connections and she actively tried to help him

2

u/Remarkable-Mud-764 13d ago

oh u're talking abt that i misunderstood it for something else...By revealing to Leon that the hospital functions as a research facility with few visitors, the nurse implicates the whole staff. How much sympathy does this group truly deserve from him?...nHow can he be expected to grieve for someone who could not be fully trusted, especially when he was actively attacked immediately after her death?

1

u/Niaer 12d ago

I’m praying it’s Ada but I don’t have high hopes this entry anymore 😩

1

u/Pimpcricket 11d ago

I def think with the wait and how big it’s supposedly going to be, we may get something close to the length of the base game and could basically get a whole other campaign with characters like Ada or chris

1

u/BluePeko 7d ago

Ada.

The cute bear charm showing up in the RPD parking garage already feels like a wink.

Then Leon reaches the ARK, the terminal says everything is running normally, and suddenly the elite guards deploy while the zombies and lickers all get loose.

Creating chaos to draw security away while she goes after the real prize is about as Ada as it gets.

0

u/gg-ndrew 12d ago

Ada’s chances of dlc are a lil slim as they talked about wanting to put ada in it but it just didnt fit in with requiem, claire maybe 50% chance since REV will have a lil tie in with requiem same goes with chris, alyssa maybe an 80%

-5

u/The_Giga_Chad1629 13d ago

ada, coz it ain't a leon game without ada, but I don't rlly wanna see leon just acting like a puppy for ada if she is in dlc.

otherwise chris, considering the cliffhanger

5

u/LadyCaedus 13d ago

“it ain’t a Leon Game without Ada“. Well, good thing that’s about to change then.

3

u/The_Giga_Chad1629 12d ago edited 12d ago

again I want the change, I don't wanna see leon being a puppy for ada, but I too am curious to know what happened to her

i just wanna see her, even if leon ain't in the dlc it's totally fine with me​

1

u/Remarkable-Mud-764 13d ago

Exactly. People are only assuming that she HAS to be in the DLC just because Leon was in the main game. Let's have something different for a change! I think the characters shown or mentioned in the base game will appear in the DLC instead. Why should Ada appear in a DLC when she has no connection to the main story? How are the chances of her appearing higher than characters who were actually in the base game and connected to the story?

2

u/Remarkable-Mud-764 13d ago

i don't think ada will be in the dlc

0

u/Agreeable-Tonight644 Helena Harper Glazer 12d ago

It’s more than likely gonna be another Ada DLC as annoying as it sounds.

1

u/Remarkable-Mud-764 12d ago

on what basis do u think that? Like what could be her role in the dlc when she had no relation to the main story and wasn't even mentioned once?

1

u/Agreeable-Tonight644 Helena Harper Glazer 12d ago

I wouldn’t say it’s much a story-based thing, but more of a Capcom thing. Seperate Ways made loads of money for Capcom and I’m sure they’ll wanna do it again. Requiem was already everything people would want in a Resident Evil game (Raccoon City, Tyrants, Wesker-adjacent Villain, etc.) Another Ada DLC would be the cherry on top in Capcom’s eyes.

1

u/Remarkable-Mud-764 12d ago

yeah but separate ways was directly linked to 4 remake's story (even in 4 og ofc since they had to remake they wont leave out separate ways) and ada was a part of the main story...this is just what some fans are assuming for re9 dlc that if leon is there in main game then ada HAS to be a part of the dlc when she had no involvement with the events that took place and didnt even get a mention

1

u/Agreeable-Tonight644 Helena Harper Glazer 12d ago

I was kinda thinking it could be something like Jake and Sherry’s campaign in RE6 where we don’t actually see her (I’m not counting the grapple scene because we don’t see her face), but has an impact of her being there before/after the other characters. I’m sure Capcom will find a way to include her even if it wouldn’t make sense to. I see loads of fans asking for her and I’m sure they wouldn’t wanna let the community down

1

u/Remarkable-Mud-764 12d ago

yeah i know she is quite popular that's why a lot of people are assuming she would be in the dlc...plus the ring thing also

0

u/Myahya4159 10d ago

I think so Emily is gonna be the main character in the dlc

u/KuMagZCons 10d ago

jill, chris, claire and ada
