RE9 DLC Leak Puts Ada Wong and Chris Redfield Back in the Picture
Requiem’s DLC plans, and the post got shared on X by @immalkwalahi. The leak claims two DLCs are in the works, one featuring Ada Wong and Chris Redfield and another with Leon S. Kennedy and Alyssa Ashcroft. A mini-game or extra mode is also reportedly being planned for a later date. The post spread fast, and fans have been talking about it nonstop since it went up.

The launch of Resident Evil Requiem was successful, and players were generally satisfied with the game’s scores and sales. However, Ada Wong’s name kept cropping up in practically every conversation regarding the game. Fans simply expect to see her anytime Leon is around since they have seen each other in so many games. Her not showing up in RE9 felt strange, and people voiced that feeling pretty openly. From the day the game dropped, comment sections and forums were full of the same question. A DLC with Ada in it would give those fans something they have genuinely been waiting on.
Ada and Chris Together Was Not What Anyone Expected
Most fans assumed Ada would come back alongside Leon since that pairing has always felt natural in the series. Seeing her connected to Chris Redfield in the leak was unexpected, but thinking about it more, it actually works. A Resident Evil 5 remake has been floating around as a rumor for some time now, and giving Chris a spot in the RE9 DLC first is a good way to bring him back into the picture. New players would get to know who he is before he potentially takes the lead in another game down the line.
The Leon and Alyssa DLC Sounds Like a Flashback Story
The second DLC pairs Leon with Alyssa Ashcroft, and that combination comes with some interesting story possibilities. Alyssa is Grace’s mother and holds real weight in the overall narrative, but she is already dead by the time RE9 takes place. That detail makes it pretty likely the DLC is set in the past, and it could even feature a younger version of Leon. For players who have followed the series for years, that kind of throwback would hit differently than a present-day story.

Before the leak even surfaced, the director of Resident Evil Requiem had already nudged fans by confirming DLC was being planned. The one detail shared at the time was that players would need to complete the main game before anything unlocked. That ruled out the idea of simple cosmetic extras and pointed toward real story content. The leak has now put some names and faces to what that content might actually turn out to be.
Resident Evil Requiem has been doing really well since it came out in 2026 with strong sales, good word of mouth, and a solid mix of new and returning players. That kind of response does not happen with every release, so it says something about how the game landed. With that many people already invested, any new content announcement is going to get attention fast. If the leaked DLC details turn out to be real, there is already a waiting crowd ready to jump back in.
