Resident Evil Requiem has received a new bonus mode in a free update, and by golly it's fabulous. It also has a great name: Leon Must Die Forever. And I'm sorry to say for all the Leon-fanciers out there that, yes, you're going to see Mr. Kennedy dismembered in many different ways.
The mode requires you to have completed the game's story, after which it appears as an option on the main menu. It's a feature-packed roguelike that offers multiple paths through various of the game's environments, on-the-fly 'enhancements' that change up Leon's abilities, new enemy variants, multiple boss fights, and an overarching meta-structure that sees you earn points on each run and unlock abilities, weapons, and costumes for subsequent playthroughs.
The goal is to reach and defeat big bad Victor Gideon, but it's a lot easier said than done. On my first runthrough I got to the second area before being careless with a blister-head which wasted no time before biting Leon's face off. On my second I reached the Super Tyrant before getting absolutely clocked by a flying car and swiftly bisected by his claws. My third… look, it's not called "Leon Must Die Forever" for nothing.
