Screenwriter Haris Orkin has teased plans for Resident Evil Requiem<\/a>\u2019s DLC. In a recent interview at Meadowlark Comic Con<\/a>, he revealed that plans have been made to flesh out Oswell E. Spencer in upcoming DLC.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m working on the DLC for Resident Evil Requiem right now,\u201d Orkin said. \u201cWe\u2019re working hand-in-hand.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Requiem, Spencer was a completely different character to how he was portrayed in previous games, switching from maniacal mastermind to redemptive figure filled with regret. It looks like we\u2019ll get a deeper look at that shift in the upcoming DLC.<\/p>\n

Later in the interview, Orkin spoke about his approach to writing villains. He explained that his villains always believe they\u2019re the good guys of their story. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have an arc for Spencer in Requiem,\u201d Orkin said. \u201cWhere you understand [that approach] more. And then in the DLC you will understand it even further. I probably shouldn\u2019t say that, but yeah.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the interview, he talked about his approach to writing Grace, an FBI analyst with limited field experience. \u201cI decided to put her on the spectrum,\u201d Orkin said. \u201cShe\u2019s an analyst. She\u2019s really an expert at figuring out clues, but she\u2019s not great at dealing with people. It was all part of creating that character.\u201d <\/p>\n

The writer announced<\/a> his two-and-a-half year collaboration with Capcom in February. Resident Evil Requiem released that same month and landed an 89 Metascore<\/a>. IGN\u2019s Resident Evil Requiem review<\/a> returned a 9\/10. We said the game \u201csuccessfully splices two separate strains of survival horror together into the one highly infectious new mutation.\u201d<\/p>\n

In March, director Koshi Nakanishi confirmed plans to launch a major story expansion for Resident Evil Requiem<\/a>, although he failed to offer details. Presumably the DLC Orkin is talking about here is that.<\/p>\n

By April this year, Resident Evil Requiem had sold over 7 million copies<\/a>, with 5 million of those sold in the first five days <\/a>of release. Producer Masato Kumazawa teased a potential Resident Evil game set in Japan<\/a>, but Capcom isn\u2019t done with Resident Evil remakes<\/a> just yet.<\/p>\n
