[QUOTE="Admin, post: 69522, member: 1"] After months of speculation and a [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/confirmed-leon-s-kennedy-is-in-resident-evil-requiem-playstation-store-leak-reveals']revealing leak earlier this week[/URL], Capcom has finally, officially confirmed what we all knew: Leon S. Kennedy is in [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/resident-evil-requiem']Resident Evil Requiem[/URL], and he's here to kick butt. Tonight, at The Game Awards 2025, a fresh trailer for Resident Evil Requiem saw Leon fully revealed, swinging into action as the now-grizzled veteran zombie fighter we all know and love. We learned what many of us had expected, that Leon will feature as one of two playable characters, alongside the previously announced Grace Ashcroft. While Grace's campaign focuses on survival horror, Leon's separate antics will focus on action.

Rumors have persisted for months over Leon's involvement in Resident Evil: Requiem, with Capcom [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/the-big-resident-evil-requiem-interview-why-the-games-monster-got-supersized-why-its-probably-not-lisa-trevor-and-a-tease-for-areas-beyond-raccoon-city-just-dont-talk-about-leon']specifically declining to answer IGN's questions over the character[/URL] back at Gamescom in August.
