Resident Evil Requiem Mod Allows Players to Take Aim at Shrek

Capcom’s latest survival horror hit, Resident Evil Requiem, is smashing sales records and igniting excitement among fans. If you’re diving into the game on PC, there’s a treasure trove of mods available to elevate your gameplay, from HUD removals to restoring aim assist on the hardest difficulty, or even the option to strip Leon of his shirt.

For those seeking a completely absurd yet entertaining twist, check out this mod by SoulReaperRyu on NexusMods that replaces the terrifying, flesh-eating toddler Chunk with none other than Shrek, the beloved Scottish ogre.

While the game features its fair share of creepy undead and massive spiders, nothing quite compares to the hilarity and horror of seeing Shrek munching on a corpse and growling, “Don’t mess with me,” as he charges at you. A quirky aspect of this mod is Shrek’s oddly elongated neck, allowing him to twist around corners in bizarre ways. It’s no wonder he’s so irate—he could use a good chiropractor!

But don’t let that goofy grin deceive you: Shrek is just as lethal as Chunk in the original game, so keep your distance. (Pro tip: You can take down Chunk as Grace using three Hemolytic Injectors, which rewards you with a charm that prevents fatal attacks. This trick works even when facing Shrek.)

What drives someone to insert Shrek into a Resident Evil game? You guessed it: pure humor.

“I created the mod mainly as a joke. I thought it would be hilarious to see Shrek in such a setting, and it turned into a fun little project. Ultimately, it was all about having a good time and bringing some laughs to the community. I didn’t expect it to gain much traction, but it’s been awesome to see people enjoy it, and I’m really pleased with how it turned out,” mod creator SoulReaperRyu shared.

Like many dedicated Resident Evil fans, SoulReaperRyu appreciates how Requiem blends gameplay elements from the series’ best titles. “One of the things I love most is seeing original characters from the Resident Evil series make a return. I’ve grown attached to those characters over the years, so it’s great to see them back. Plus, I’m a fan of the gameplay since it incorporates elements from Resident Evil 4, 2, and 7.”

Currently, Shrek in Resident Evil Requiem can’t tell you to get out of his swamp or belt out those catchy Smash Mouth tunes—this mod is purely visual. But never underestimate the creativity of the modding community!
