When Resident Evil Requiem<\/a> arrived on Switch 2 in February, one thing we noticed missing was Mercenaries Mode.<\/p>\n

The game director Koshi Nakanishi recently teased a minigame update for May<\/a>, and ahead of this, a dataminer has made an interesting discovery.<\/p>\n

‘MasyaSYRKOV’ on social media<\/a> has been digging through Requiem’s game files and uncovered some music that could be linked to an extra mode, or possibly even Mercenaries:<\/p>\n

“I was digging through Resident Evil Requiem files and found something that could be related to future extra mode \/ Mercenaries”<\/p>\n

Track 4<\/a>, which has been described as having a lot of “clock ticking”, has already convinced some fans<\/a> that Mercenaries Mode is on the way. Of course, Capcom hasn’t revealed what exactly to expect from next month’s update just yet.<\/p>\n

This recurring minigame in the series requires players to race against the clock as they fight waves of enemies and rack up a high score.<\/p>\n

In March, Capcom released an update for Resident Evil Requiem adding a photo mode to the game. Apart from a minigame update, the director has also announced a story expansion<\/a>, which will “delve deeper into the world of Requiem”.<\/p>\n

Do you think we’ll see Mercenaries return? Have you played Requiem yet? Tell us in the comments.<\/p>\n
