The full announcement from Nintendo is as follows:
The much-discussed mini-game for Resident Evil Requiem has just been made available as part of a new update for the game, which is revealed to be Leon Must Die Forever. Nintendo Switch 2 players can access it now.
The mode can be unlocked after finishing the main story. According to Capcom, it includes “the nonstop combat action that players know and love from legendary agent Leon S. Kennedy.” The mode has you fighting through areas you’ve visited previously throughout the game and ultimately taking on the final boss, all with stronger enemy variants, five increasingly difficulty ranks, and a race against the clock. Leon can unlock “enhanced abilities” exclusive to the mode.
