Well, would you look at that! A little slip-up on a popular video game retailer’s site has teased the possibility of a new playable character in the thrilling Resident Evil Requiem saga. Forget the usual zombies and creeping dread—this time, it might be time to welcome some fresh faces to the terror party!
What’s in a Listing?
The adventure began when the listing for the Deluxe Edition of the PC version made a brief cameo, complete with tales of bonus content that would make any Resident Evil fan high-five their cat. But wait—it appears someone over at the retailer got a bit too excited and let slip details that had most likely been meant for the gossip columns instead of the official page.
This treasure trove of info originally claimed the Deluxe Edition would feature an Expansion Pass called The Sanctuary. This isn’t just some fancy name for a spa day, folks; it includes two new story scenarios and a shiny update to everyone’s favorite merciless Mercenaries mode.
The Mystery of Rosemary Winters
However, the pièce de résistance was the mention of a Shadow Walker Costume Pack. This delightful bundle boasts “three exclusive outfits for Rosemary Winters” and—hold your breath—a Morphic Visor Cosmetic Filter. Which, if nothing else, sounds like something a high-tech spy would wear, just to ensure each zombie encounter has a touch of fabulous.
Up until this revelation, the only character guaranteed to be playable was Grace Ashcroft, the apple of a certain protagonist’s eye from Resident Evil Outbreak. But if Rosemary really is strutting into the storyline, it would mark yet another offspring of a previous Resident Evil hero making their way into the limelight.
Rosemary, in case anyone missed the memo, is the tiny tot daughter of Ethan Winters (the guy from Resident Evil Village) and Mia. Just a mere six months old during the events of Village, one has to wonder: Will she be the next tiny terror to save the day, or will she merely be an adorable sidekick with a lot of potential for baby-themed merchandise?
Will She, or Won’t She?
The big question that now lingers is whether Rosemary is gearing up to be a fully-fledged playable character or just a cute sidekick capable of saying “baby talk” at ominously inappropriate times. Or perhaps, the info provided was just an outdated relic from some developer’s yearbook, meant to stir rumors and speculation.
Long-time sleuth AestheticGamer, or as they were once known, Dusk Golem, couldn’t resist sharing the accidental leak. But they warned fans that despite the listing being front and center on the retailer’s official page, something feels fishy about this whole situation. Like a bad sushi roll left in the fridge too long.
They noted, “It 100% is on the official GameStop pre-order page for the game right now, you can see it for yourself.” But just because something exists on the internet doesn’t mean it’s true; remember the infamous spaghetti tree hoax?
The Countdown Begins!
With The Game Awards happening soon, one can only hope that more buzzing information will drop. Maybe there will be a surprise appearance by Rosemary in some capacity—or perhaps the sight of Grace in a fashionable FBI visor? Only time will tell…
For those eagerly awaiting the thrills, chills, and potential baby-themed outfits, Resident Evil Requiem is set for release on February 27, 2026. Mark those calendars, stock up on snacks, and prepare for the rollercoaster ride that will no doubt leave everyone questioning life decisions and checking their closets for anti-zombie gear!
