A few weeks ago, Resident Evil Requiem producer Masato Kumazawa teased that ghosts from the series’ past would be stepping back into the nightmare. And thanks to a slip-up from GameStop, we might now know one of the faces preparing to crawl out of the franchise’s shadows.

Spoiler warning—turn back now if you’d rather enter Requiem uncorrupted.

Before the listing was hastily scrubbed from existence, GameStop’s product page for the Resident Evil Requiem Deluxe Steelbook Edition on PC spilled a handful of details. According to the page, the Deluxe Edition bundles in an Expansion Pass promising “2 new story scenarios and a major Mercenaries mode update.” Three of the five included costumes were tied to a “Shadow Walker” pack—“exclusive outfits for Rosemary Winters.”

For those who forgot the bloodline, Rose is the daughter of Ethan Winters, the long-suffering protagonist of Resident Evil 7 and Village.

The listing also mentioned a “Morphic Visor,” described as a unique cosmetic design for Rose’s visor, plus a Digital Artbook and soundtrack.

But before fans start carving theories into stone, longtime RE insider Dusk Golem stepped in with a heavy dose of skepticism. One red flag: the listing referenced the Baker estate, a detail no one from Capcom has so much as whispered. Dusk Golem also pointed out that the GameStop synopsis claimed RE9 would be “picking up threads left dangling in the shadows of Raccoon City and the Baker estate,” wording that raised eyebrows.

Other users on X suggested the original listing looked AI-generated, later edited by a human—adding yet another layer of fog to what’s real and what’s hallucination. And notably, the claim about the Digital Artbook and soundtrack didn’t appear anywhere in the original Deluxe Edition description.

Capcom, for its part, has remained dead silent. Until we get something official, it’s wise to treat this leak the same way we treat everything else in the Resident Evil universe: assume nothing is what it seems.

Resident Evil Requiem drops February 27 for PC (Steam and Epic), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch 2.
