With the repercussion, Capcom made an official statement and confirmed that the leaked materials are real. In a statement published on its official social channels, the company asked fans not to share the content and stressed that it is already taking legal measures to contain the leaks.
According to the developer, the goal is to preserve the day-one experience for all players. See the message released:
“Please do not post or share pre-release leaks and spoilers for Resident Evil Requiem. We really want everyone to enjoy the game’s story and experience to the fullest. Our legal department will continue issuing takedown and deletion notices to preserve your day-one experience. There’s not long to go until the game is released, so we’re looking forward to seeing all your reactions after launch!”
