Resident Evil Requiem DLC Rumor Hints at Ada Wong Return

Resident Evil Requiem has already reached the milestone of 6 million copies sold, with Capcom claiming that it’s the fastest-selling title in the series. As far as DLC is concerned, earlier this month, the studio also confirmed that additional content is already in development. As you may know, characters like Leon and Ada have carried multiple storylines over the years, and fans continue to watch their dynamic closely. However, if you were expecting clarity around Leon’s personal life in Resident Evil Requiem, this latest leak may have just given us some hint about the upcoming DLC.

Resident Evil Requiem “very likely” to bring back Ada Wong

The latest rumor around the game’s DLC points to a possible return of Ada Wong. The claim comes from insider Dusk Golem, who goes by the username @AestheticGamer1 on X. In a post on X, Golem says that the information comes from an unintentional slip rather than a direct source (via TheGamer).

Here’s what Golem notes in the tweet:

Okay, so I sat on this for a bit, & thank you to @StiviwonderN for bringing it to my attention. There was a slight slip up somewhere (I won’t give context), this isn’t from my sources, unintentional leak. But Ada Wong is very likely in the Resident Evil Requiem’s DLC. That’s all the context, it’s not my claim. It’s from something that went public a bit accidentally, I think it was an honest mistake so don’t want to get anyone in trouble. But yeah, paints Ada being involved in RE9’s DLC in some way. So to see how that goes ultimately.

The timing of this leak is interesting, by the way. Rumors circulating online suggest that Leon Kennedy is married, but there is no confirmation about who his partner is. That detail has quickly become one of the biggest talking points around the game.

If Ada does return, her role could shape how that story unfolds. She has long been linked to Leon, though their relationship has never been fully defined. Her appearance might rule her out, or pull her back into the center of the narrative.

At the same time, other characters like Claire Redfield could still factor into the story. For now, Capcom has not confirmed any of this, and the DLC itself remains under wraps. With the game already hitting six million copies, expectations are clearly high. It remains to be seen how much of this leak holds up once the DLC is officially revealed.
