If you’re looking to rival ‘hot uncle’ Leon, Capcom has released a bundle for Resident Evil Requiem which bizarrely comes with a pull-up bar.

Resident Evil Requiem is only a week away and if you’re planning on occupying the sofa for the weekend to play through it, Capcom has your back for some guilt-free indulgence.

While most special editions come with lame in-game cosmetics or a SteelBook, Capcom has partnered with e-commerce company Yume Group for a ‘Terrifying Nightmare Set’, that’s exclusive to Japan. Along with a copy of Resident Evil Requiem, the set throws in a… err, pull-up bar.

Based on the comical adverts, it’s done in tongue-in-cheek fashion, as Yume Group’s president Shigehiro Ishida and co-host Yuri Hoshina are cheerfully superimposed into several terrifying sequences from the game. They even offer an alternative use for the bars, as a rail to hang up clothes.

It’s unclear what a pull-up bar has to do with Resident Evil Requiem, but protagonist Grace Ashcroft is seen suspended upside down in the game’s reveal trailer – which is referenced in the advert.

While it appears to be quite random, the Terrifying Nightmare set managed to sell out in less than five hours – so clearly the novelty has worked its magic. The bundle was priced at 19,800 yen, which is around £95. Hey, we’d take it over a damn Mr. Raccoon charm.

‘For the sake of customers who are looking forward to this title, we ask that you refrain from publishing or posting gameplay videos on video streaming services or social media before the game’s release date.

‘Posting gameplay footage before the game’s release not only infringes on copyright but also upsets other players. We are taking firm action, including removal and warnings, as these videos are discovered. We also ask everyone viewing this post to please refrain from watching or sharing any such videos if you come across them.’

Based on what we’ve played, Resident Evil Requiem is shaping up to be one of the best entries in years. The game is set to launch on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
