Fans of the Resident Evil franchise are buzzing with excitement as new details about Resident Evil Requiem emerge ahead of its release date, February 27. A recent PlayStation Store leak has unveiled updated cover art, prominently showcasing the beloved character Leon S. Kennedy.

PlayStation Store Leak Reveals Leon’s Return

While the anticipation for Resident Evil Requiem has been building since its reveal at the Summer Game Fest, this leak has added considerable fuel to speculation about the game’s character roster. Players who purchased the non-deluxe digital edition found that updated cover art revealing Leon has been added, indicating a significant role for the character.

Character Speculations and Protagonist Insights

Rumors regarding Leon’s involvement have circulated since the initial reveal, particularly with hints from noted Resident Evil leaker Dusk Golem. Dusk suggested that although Leon may not be the sole playable character, he is indeed the main protagonist.

Despite Capcom’s insistence that Grace would lead the game, several early demonstrations raised further questions about Leon’s potential contributions. Game director Koshi Nakanishi had attempted to quell these rumors by suggesting that a return of Leon would clash with the game’s horror focus.

Impact of the Untimely Leak

The PlayStation Store leak may have disrupted Capcom’s marketing strategy, potentially revealing Leon’s return ahead of a planned major announcement at The Game Awards. The early release of this cover art has left fans wondering about Leon’s significance in the storyline and gameplay mechanics.

Additional Resident Evil Developments

Coinciding with the Leon revelation, other potential leaks have emerged, though these remain less substantiated. Reports surfaced about GameStop listing deluxe editions of Resident Evil Requiem. These listings included details about costumes for Rosemary Winters, notable for her role in Resident Evil 7 and Village.
