For some reason, there is always a discourse about duration when it comes to Resident Evil games, and there was Resident Evil Requiemruntime's. Whether you finished the campaign in six or fifteen hours, it doesn't really matter if you enjoyed it. But if you ended up wanting to do more, here are some things to keep you entertained.
Revisiting or playing older titles for the first time, checking some difficult achievements and testing how much you can remember everything in the game are some of the possibilities. Let's go through the list of things you can do after completing the Resident Evil Requiem campaign.
1
Get The Second End
Resident Evil Requiem breaks the mold a bit by offering two different endings. Both are dealing with Elpis, a new biological weapon that you don't really know anything about. So, what should you do? It's really up to you.
Resident Evil Requiem: Final Puzzle Solution
Here's how to complete the final puzzle and what you use the Severed Hand for in Resident Evil Requiem.
To have one ending or the other, you just have to choose whether to destroy or free Elpis. If you picked one you didn't like, don't do the lazy thing and go to YouTube and watch it there – play the game again and see what's behind the other choice.

Let's go for platinum
Are you a trophy or achievement hunter? Or do you want to see everything the game has to offer? Then check out the 50 trophies in Requiem and start completing each one to earn points that you can later exchange for more content and powerups to beat.
There's a little bit of everything, from the usual “complete X section” gameplay to more specific actions against enemies as well as collectibles. It will take you at least 20 hours and three playthroughs.

Unlock all concept art
If you don't really care about unlocking every single achievement, but are interested in some extra content to check out, buy it and check out the concept art available in its specific section. It's a great selection of character sketches and designs that show how the artists came up with their designs and different locations, and lots of other sweet details for fans.

How fast can you complete Requiem?
Speedrunning and Resident Evil are like jam and cheese: they were born to be together. The art of completing games as quickly as possible, using exploits and breaking the game in a “legal” way is a practice as old as the medium itself. Resident Evil is a series that has always followed this tradition, and the first games were always interesting and fun experiences that were completed in about an hour.
It's no different with the newer titles in the franchise, and Requiem is also finding its place in the speedrunning community. Players have already completed the game in just two hours. Can you try to do the same? Of course infinite ammo and glitches count.

Play a new run with mods
It hasn't been long since Resident Evil Requiem was released, but the mod community isn't wasting a minute. There are already over 600 mods in Nexus Mods and it was only a matter of time before we got Shrek as a skin for one of the unique creatures in the game. It's already iconic, and for some players it's more terrifying than the actual enemy.
But runs are not about memes and cosmetics: you can download many other options that will change the way you play, item positions to refresh new games and more.

Check if the internet is right about Resident Evil 6
There isn't a hated main entry in the Resident Evil series… except for Resident Evil 6. Featuring four campaigns with different protagonists and sidekicks, each featuring different styles that focus more on the survival horror or action-survival side of things. Sounds great, right? Well… not much.
RE6 is usually criticized for a story that is poorly told and doesn't make much sense, and each campaign has its own series of problems. However, every time a new Resident Evil comes out, fans of this post want to explain to you that it's always been great. Specifically when it comes to Leon's fight, which precedes much of the movement and over-the-top action you see in Requiem.

Go back in time to Leon S. Kennedy
You don't want to see if Resident Evil 6 is as bad as they say and you'd rather watch something good. Plus, you fell in love with Leon (like we all did) and want to play as him in more adventures. You're in luck because Leon features two of the most popular games: Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4.
The question now may be, “Should I play the original titles or the remakes?” If you have the time, systems, and money, you should play them all. But if you had to choose, I'd go with the original RE2 and RE4 Remake. This way you get the best of Resident Evil and get a taste of the Remake treatment with one of the most popular games of all time.

Learn more about Mother Grace
If you're already a fan of Resident Evil, you've probably played all of the games above and more. That's great! But what about Resident Evil: Outbreak and its sequel Outbreak File 2? These are spin-offs launched on the PlayStation 2 in 2003 and 2004, and were the first Resident Evil games to feature co-op and online multiplayer.
In Outbreak, you control one of eight brand new characters in the franchise, and one of them is none other than Alyssa Ashcroft, mother of Grace. You meet Alyssa in Requiem, but it's only for a brief flashback, and even though you learn a lot about her, there's still a lot of mystery surrounding this character. You can play the Outbreak subseries and learn more about why it's so important.

Wait for the DLC
At the time of writing this list, it has been announced that Resident Evil Requiem will receive DLC in 2026, although a release date has yet to be confirmed. Following the previous posts, it will feature a new story, probably showing us some of what happens after the Requiem story, or maybe what Leon (or other guest characters) were up to before the events of this game.
A “Mini-Game” of sorts was also announced with bizarre photos showing puzzle games and dating simulators. We don't think it will (even though we'd love it to death), but it means classic Mercenaries (or something very similar) is coming to Requiem, and we can't wait.
In this mode, you must defeat waves of enemies within a time limit and as you unlock more resources and more powerful equipment. You usually have a variety of characters to choose from, with different weapons and gadgets to keep things fresh for hours.
I'm tired of every Resident Evil game this early
Capcom's survival horror series is incredible, but its opening acts are often the best.
