Capcom Officially Confirms Leon S. Kennedy’s Role in Resident Evil Requiem at The Game Awards 2025
Capcom has officially confirmed that Leon S. Kennedy will play a significant role in the upcoming game, Resident Evil Requiem. This announcement came during The Game Awards 2025, where a new trailer showcased Leon in action as a seasoned zombie fighter.
Resident Evil Requiem: Leon S. Kennedy Returns
In the new installment of the Resident Evil series, Leon is one of two playable characters. He will be joined by Grace Ashcroft, who will primarily focus on survival horror elements in her campaign. In contrast, Leon’s storyline will emphasize fast-paced action.
Development Insights
- Capcom had been tight-lipped about Leon’s role prior to the announcement.
- Rumors about Leon’s inclusion had circulated for months.
- Speculations included concerns that Leon’s character might not fit quieter sections of the game.
Previously, developers suggested that Leon, now a more seasoned fighter, might not effectively convey fear in the game’s tranquil moments. However, his presence is likely to enhance the action-packed sequences of Resident Evil Requiem.
Possible Additional Characters
Interestingly, the trailer did not confirm whether there would be a third playable character. Earlier in the week, a GameStop listing hinted at the potential inclusion of Rosemary Winters, but this was not addressed during the awards ceremony.
Fans eagerly await more details about Resident Evil Requiem, especially given the surprising developments at The Game Awards 2025.
