The PS Store might have let the cat out of the bag a few days ago with its updated art leak, but we now have the official confirmation that fan-favourite character Leon S. Kennedy will play a large role in Resident Evil Requiem.
He appeared during a new trailer that debuted at The Game Awards, which you can catch above.
It sounds like there'll be two intertwining stories in Requiem, as both Grace and Leon will be playable characters. The former will have a survival horror focus, while Leon's portion is all in on the action.

WOOO 🔥🔥 lets goooo 💪. But on a sidenote, this really is a spoiler for me personally 😆 because I’m the type of guy that loves going into games/movies not knowing what to expect and just letting everything unfold on it’s own, seeing how it pans out. Sure a little details are obviously going to get revealed here and there, but something of this magnitude would have sent me spiralling like crazy had I actually came across it in game, sort of like a massive plot twist return arc haha 🙈.
Yeah I can't wait now,! the game looks like a perfect blend of RE7 and RE4R. I only hope Grace doesn't get side lined too much.
Only a couple of months away. I can’t wait. Looks great.
The Daddy is back baby 😁😁😁
While it's great to see Leon again, it does make me question how scary the game is going to be.
@Bentleyma Well Leon and Grace are both going to be playable characters but Grace’s arc is going to be focused on the survival horror aspect whereas Leon’s is going to be more action packed. That’s what Geoff Keighley confirmed right after the trailer at TGA. Me personally would have just preferred Leon to have a small playable section like Chris Redfield from RE8 Village.
So stoked. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with Raccoon City.
I swear, if he f$&@ing dies 😤
If there isn’t rock punching, I’m out
This looks fantastic, that's small gameplay snippet looks like a great followup to RE4R.
Havent we known this for months? Two playable characters with two distinct play styles.
@HRdepartment That's more Chris thing 😅
Well i guess that can calm down the fans who keeps asking for old characters. I personally hope Grace still dominate the majority of the game.
The combat looks great. I didn’t need Chris to return but I’m fine with it.
