It has been nearly two months since the official launch of “Castle Evil: Requiem”, and many players are beginning to look forward to the DLC and subsequent updates that are confirmed to be under development. According to new clues recently discovered by players, the “mercenary mode” loved by fans of the series is likely to become the focus of the next wave of updates.
Since its debut in “Castle 3” in 1999, “Mercenary Mode” has always been a fan-favorite additional mode. In this game mode that is independent of the plot, players can play characters from the series and use their skills and weapons to challenge waves of enemies within a limited time.
Although the mercenary mode in previous works has slightly different gameplay, it has long become one of the standard contents of the series. Therefore, many players are looking forward to seeing the return of this mode in the new series “Castle of Evil: Requiem”, and players have begun to discover some clues.
Based on data mining by player SYRKOVclue, there are many unused audio tracks hidden in the game files of “Castle of Evil: Requiem”, one of which contains a sound effect similar to “clock ticking”, which immediately reminds many players of the countdown sound effect in Mercenary Mode.
Not long ago, Koji Nakanishi, the production director of “Castle of Evil: Requiem”, had hinted that the game would launch a “surprise update” in May. At that time, many fans speculated that this might refer to the “mercenary mode.” This new discovery further strengthens this speculation, showing that this mode may be added to the game soon.
As for which characters players will have the opportunity to play in the mercenary mode of “Castle of Evil: Requiem”, it is of course a topic that many fans are curious about. According to past practice, the two protagonists “Lion” and “Grace” will of course appear, but considering that players are in “Castle of Evil: Requiem” The two villains “Heisenberg” and “Mrs. Dimitrescu” can be played in the mercenary mode of “Castle of Evil 8: Village”, so players believe that in the mercenary mode of the new game, the two core villains “Zino” and “Victor Gideon” will have the opportunity to join the battle.
It is worth noting that when players arrive at the Lakun City Police Station in “Castle of Evil: Requiem”, they will have the opportunity to trigger an easter egg where they encounter “Tofu”. Therefore, this has become another character that may appear in the mercenary mode or other additional modes. But just like previous rumors and unconfirmed news, the final truth still has to be revealed by Capcom.
