Earlier this week, pre-release copies of Resident Evil Requiem made it into players' hands and spoilers began to leak out. Now, those leaks have become a flood, with full-game spoilers breaking down every element of the story and gameplay from beginning to end. The situation has gotten bad enough that Capcom has issued a statement, promising that its lawyers are on the case as the publisher begs players to stop sharing spoilers.
"Please don't post or share pre-release leaks and spoilers for Resident Evil Requiem," Capcom says in a tweet. "We really want everyone to enjoy the game's story and experience as much as possible. Our legal department will continue to issue takedowns and deletion notices for leaks in order to preserve your day-one experience."

Resident Evil community manager Kristina 'Katastrophe' Markez has a more personal message to fans: "Please be kind and considerate to your fellow RE enjoyers," she says on Twitter. "Feel free to forward any leaks or spoilers to me privately!" Generally I'd say narcing out fellow social media users to a corporation is bad form, but anybody dropping unmarked spoilers for an unreleased game probably deserves whatever Capcom has in store for them.
Resident Evil Requiem spoilers are apparently here 10 days ahead of launch, so prepare accordingly

Please act surprised: Resident Evil Requiem stars Leon Kennedy, and I can't imagine Capcom is too pleased about PlayStation leaking that fact
Resident Evil Requiem officially launches on February 27, so there's a week left before you can just play the upcoming horror game for yourself. That's a substantial amount of time for members of the RE fandom to keep dodging spoilers, and some are begging Capcom to 'just' release the game early, but I wouldn't hold your breath for that to actually happen.
Resident Evil Requiem's 'Terrifying Nightmare Set' sells out in under 5 hours and includes every gamer's biggest fear: exercise equipment.
