Leon Might Be the Star Again in Resident Evil Requiem
Fans of Leon Kennedy might get to play as him once more in Resident Evil Requiem. Even though Capcom showed Gracie Ashcroft as the new lead in the trailer, leakers say that’s not the full story.
According to Dusk Golem, a well-known insider, Leon is not only in the game—he’ll be the main character with more playtime than Gracie.
Trailer Hints You Might’ve Missed
Some fans are already playing detective. They spotted what looks like Leon’s old Jeep near the ruined Raccoon City Police Department in the trailer. One eagle-eyed viewer even noticed a blurry photo that might be Leon from Resident Evil 6. While none of this confirms anything, it’s enough to make longtime fans excited.
There’s also a resume update from Nick Apostolides, the voice actor for Leon. He listed a secret AAA game that he can’t talk about yet. Many believe that mystery game is Requiem.
Dual Protagonists Confirmed
According to leaks, Resident Evil Requiem will have two main characters: Leon and Gracie. Leon will reportedly be the lead, even though the trailer focused more on Gracie. Dusk Golem also hinted that Capcom is saving Leon’s big reveal for a future marketing update.
The game returns to Raccoon City for the first time in over 20 years. This is where Leon made his debut in Resident Evil 2, so it makes sense to bring him back here. With the city in ruins and danger all around, it feels like the perfect setting for a classic Resident Evil experience.
While nothing is official yet, all signs point to Leon Kennedy being back in action. From trailers to leaks to actor resumes, it’s hard to ignore the hints. If you’re a fan of Leon, this might be some of the best news you’ve heard in a while.
