Rare Resident Evil Requiem Clip Will Convince You to Try Leon Must Die Mode

A hilarious clip from Leon Must Die Forever DLC in Resident Evil Requiem shows a perfect zombie takedown during gameplay. Following the strong launch of Resident Evil Requiem, director Koshi Nakanishi confirmed that DLC was on the way, including a larger story-focused expansion currently in development. While fans are still waiting to learn more about the upcoming story DLC, Capcom surprised players by shadow-dropping Leon Must Die Forever, a challenging mini-game designed around replayability and high-risk combat encounters.

Unlike the main campaign, the expansion takes a far more punishing approach by dropping players into sections of the game with stronger enemies, limited room for mistakes, and permadeath-style mechanics. Players once again step into the role of Leon S. Kennedy, but the experience feels closer to an arcade survival challenge than a traditional Resident Evil campaign.

By expertly blending pure horror and over-the-top action, Resident Evil Requiem becomes the ultimate Resident Evil experience.

Unexpected Resident Evil Requiem Gameplay Moment Has Fans Checking Out Leon Must Die Forever Mode

A Reddit user going by the username JPISNOTOK, posted a clip on the official Resident Evil subreddit where they accidentally sent a zombie flying directly into an oncoming car while playing through the Leon Must Die Forever DLC in Resident Evil Requiem. The short video shows the player shooting the enemy in the knee and then sending them back with a roundhouse kick. Before the zombie could stand again and get stable, they get violently hit by a vehicle, creating a perfectly timed sequence that made the original poster ask, “What are the chances lol.”

The post has gained a lot of attention on the Resident Evil subreddit with over 5.5k upvotes and various comments from other users talking about the hilarious zombie takedown. The clip quickly sparked reactions from fans, many of whom initially believed the moment was pure luck. However, several commenters pointed out that the event is actually scripted in the main campaign of Resident Evil Requiem, with the zombie seemingly destined to get run over regardless of what the player does.

Even so, users admitted the perfectly timed kick made the scene look far smoother and funnier than usual, with some calling it one of the coolest accidental-looking moments they had seen in the mode. Others in the thread used the post to discuss the difficulty of the Leon Must Die Forever DLC itself, particularly its added abilities and tougher combat encounters. Some players praised mechanics like the fire kick upgrade, while others joked about how brutally Leon treats enemies throughout the run.

The post eventually became less about the scripted event itself and more about how chaotic and unpredictable gameplay can feel in the new mode, even during moments that are technically pre-planned by the game. The unpredictability appears to be a major reason why clips from Leon Must Die Forever DLC are spreading so quickly online, with fans sharing everything from perfectly timed zombie kills to narrowly avoided deaths that completely change the outcome of a run.

The reception around the Leon Must Die Forever DLC for Resident Evil Requiem has been mixed. While some are happy that they get to play as Leon again without having to go through Grace’s horror-focused sections, others are disappointed because the mini-game does not provide enough replayability. However, with the expansion being free, everyone can give it a shot and maybe get another hilarious moment like the one in the viral clip.
