Capcom has released patch 1.110 for Resident Evil Requiem, addressing critical technical issues such as frame rate drops on RTX-40/50 graphics cards and black artifacts, while also requiring a constant Steam connection and disabling RE-Framework support for mods. The update reflects the company’s commitment to improving performance, though the removal of mod support has drawn criticism from the community. At the same time, Capcom has confirmed that future content for the game is in development, including a story DLC, a mini-game, and a photo mode, with the latter set to arrive via update in May 2026. Director Koshi Nakanishi affirmed that these expansions are actively being worked on, promising additional value for players.
Meanwhile, the action-adventure game Crimson Desert, developed by Pearl Abyss, is preparing for its official release on March 19, 2026. Despite early reviews praising its complex combat system and expansive open world, the game has faced mounting controversy. A leaked review highlighted significant quality-of-life shortcomings, including limited inventory and storage capacity, and suggested a Metacritic score of around 80 to 85. Adding to the tension, Pearl Abyss implemented Denuvo copy protection just days before launch, prompting strong backlash from pre-order customers who sought to cancel their purchases. While the developer insists that the DRM has no negative impact on performance—claiming all performance tests were conducted with the final version including Denuvo—the community remains skeptical.
Crimson Desert’s technical demands are also drawing scrutiny. On the PS5, players must download an additional 48 GB over the physical disc to play offline, as the 77-GB disc is insufficient to hold the full game, necessitating multiple discs. The PC version is reported to be approximately 120 gigabytes in size, and a preload will begin two days before release. These factors, combined with the Denuvo controversy and limited inventory space, have fueled debate about the game’s readiness and the developer’s approach to post-launch support. Despite the challenges, Crimson Desert continues to generate anticipation, with fans eager to experience its challenging yet rewarding gameplay, even as they navigate the complexities of its release.
