Physical copies of Capcom’s next big horror release broke street date more than a week early. Within hours, major story beats were circulating online. Social feeds were flooded. Fans who wanted to go in blind had to dodge spoilers like infected in a dark corridor.
Now Hideki Kamiya, known for directing Resident Evil 2 and shaping titles at Capcom, PlatinumGames, and Clovers, has stepped in with strong words.
Resident Evil Requiem leaks spark backlash from Hideki Kamiya
Kamiya compared the situation to what happened during the original Resident Evil 2 launch, when a late-game twist was exposed before release. He did not hold back. He called the act selfish and said it ruins the experience for both players and creators.
