The latest version of Denuvo, which was used in Resident Evil Requiem, has been defeated. In record time, voices38 was able to crack it. This is a huge blow to Irdeto and Denuvo.
Resident Evil Requiem came out on February 27th. And now, after one and a half months, a proper crack has been fully released.
Now I know what some of you may say. “John, there was a HYPERVISOR Bypass“. The big difference is that this is a proper crack. This is a huge deal as it will allow voices38 to crack pretty much every game that has come out.
Not only that, but this is a safe crack. In order to use the HYPERVISOR Bypass, you had to disable some security features in Windows. That was a no-no for me, no matter how much you wanted to play Resident Evil Requiem. With the voices38 crack, you don’t have to do anything like that.
As I’ve said numerous times, these Denuvo cracks are basically bypassing the anti-tamper tech. In other words, Denuvo will still run in the background. So, it will be meaningless to test and compare the cracked and the original versions.
It will be interesting to see how Irdeto will react to both the HYPERVISOR Bypass and voices38’s cracks. From what I know, the team is already looking at strengthening its anti-tamper tech. So, let’s see which future game will be the first one to use the new Denuvo tech.
Needless to say, we won’t allow any download links to the crack. So, don’t bother sharing them in the Comment section. We also don’t condone piracy. So, if you want to download the crack, you’ll have to search for it yourselves.
For what it’s worth, Capcom has removed Denuvo from a lot of its PC titles. In November 2025, they removed it from Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny. Monster Hunter Rise, Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, and Resident Evil Village are also Denuvo-free as we speak. Similarly, Resident Evil 2 Remake and Resident Evil 3 Remake no longer use it. In July 2025, the Japanese team also removed it from Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess. Plus, Capcom has recently removed it from Resident Evil 4 Remake. So, it will be interesting to see when the team will remove it from Requiem.
Another publisher that has removed Denuvo from its games is Square Enix. For instance, it has removed it from DRAGON QUEST I & II HD-2D Remake. In December 2025, they also removed it from Just Cause 3. SE has also removed it from The Diofield Chronicle, VALKYRIE ELYSIUM, TRIANGLE STRATEGY, LIVE A LIVE, and Forspoken. Moreover, both Octopath Traveler and its sequel no longer use it. And that’s not all. In May 2024, SE removed it from Star Ocean The Second Story R. Finally, in March 2025, the publisher removed it from Final Fantasy 16.
Other companies have also removed Denuvo from several of their games. In March 2023, KRAFTON removed Denuvo from The Callisto Protocol. NEOWIZ has also removed it from its Souls-like game, Lies of P. In October 2024, Gearbox removed it from Homeworld 3, too.
And that’s not all. Bethesda’s Wolfenstein Youngblood, Ghostwire: Tokyo, and Doom Eternal no longer have it. Then we have Bandai Namco, which has removed it from Tekken 7 and NARUTO TO BORUTO: SHINOBI STRIKER. Plus, Warner Bros has removed it from Gotham Knights, Back 4 Blood and Mortal Kombat 11.
