Resident Evil 2 director asks for a 'not scary' version of Requiem

Resident Evil Requiem is busting records with series-high sales and glowing reviews, and now the director of 1998's iconic Resident Evil 2 has a request for Capcom. In a post on X following the March 10 announcement of upcoming Requiem DLC, Hideki Kamiya jokingly asked the Requiem team to offer a "not scary mode" in a future content update.

Instead of fleeing the frenzied undead in the creepiest medical facility on Earth, Kamiya imagines a kinder, gentler version of Requiem, "where the zombies get all cute, the blood splatters turn into cherry blossom petals, the music becomes this upbeat, feel-good kind of tune, and you can just purely enjoy the puzzles and battles in a fun mood," he wrote.

"I wanna play it, but it's so scary that I can't sleep alone at night anymore, so I just can't bring myself to play... Think about how people like that feel..." As the director of the original Resident Evil 2, Kamiya's no stranger to scares. This is, after all, the game that introduced nightmarish enemies like Lickers and Mr.
