Resident Evil Requiem Hides an Easter Egg URL That Was Quickly Claimed by a Valve Superfan
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
A hidden website URL discovered inside Resident Evil Requiem was quickly registered by a Gabe Newell superfan and content creator after Capcom left the domain unclaimed.
Eagle-eyed players diving into Resident Evil Requiem have spotted a hidden website address tucked away inside the game. If you peer closely at the screens on Leon's Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance computers, a string of code reveals the URL NEWDAWN-capcom.com. As it turns out, Capcom forgot to lock down the domain before shipping the game.
Instead of leading to an official publisher teaser, the address was quickly snapped up by the prominent content creator and Valve superfan known as Gabe Follower. Anyone visiting the URL now finds a holding page managed by the community figure rather than an official marketing hub or ARG starting point.
Incidents like this highlight the constant race between game developers and quick-moving community members when secret details slip into production builds. Whether Capcom intended the URL to go live later or simply overlooked the domain registration, the fast work of a creator has turned a background texture into a memorable piece of community lore. For the latest on how publishers handle these unexpected easter egg hijacks, keep it locked to IGN South Africa.
