New Resident Evil Requiem leaks have revealed that most of Leon’s gameplay will take place in 2020, focusing on Action as well as horror and atmosphere.
There have been rumours about Resident Evil Requiem featuring multiple playable characters, with Leon Kennedy being one of them. Capcom has yet to officially confirm any new playable characters for the title. However, one insider has provided more information about Leon Kennedy’s gameplay in Requiem.
Resident Evil Requiem Leaks Reveal Most of Leon’s Gameplay is Set in 2020
A new post by DuskGolem on X (formerly Twitter) states that “most (but not all) of Leon’s gameplay is set in 2020, while most (but not all) of Grace’s gameplay is set in 2028.” Moreover, the insider states that Leon will have “greyed hair” in Resident Evil Requiem and his gameplay will have “more action-focus BUT will be more focused on horror & atmospherics” when compared to Resident Evil 4.
The insider also spoke about over-the-top stuff being cut down, explaining that there will be over-the-top stuff, but nothing on the level of “Salazar’s statue in RE4 or the Heisenberg cyber zombies & mecha tank fight in RE8.” The tweet also features a video discussing further Requeim Leon leaks by DuskGolem.
Requiem’s Leon Can Explore a Few Large Levels, One with a Vehicle
The video adds that Leon’s gameplay does not feature an open world, but includes a few large levels. Leon also has a vehicle that he uses to travel in “at least one of the levels”. DuskGolem has also heard in the grapevine that Leon will be revealed for RE9 at the Tokyo Game Show 2025, accompanied by a new trailer, and pre-orders will go live then as well; however, none of their direct sources are privy to Capcom’s marketing plans.
In other news, Resident Evil Requiem’s new horror system is designed to “play around with your emotions.” Additionally, the director of the Resident Evil movie has confirmed that it will not feature Leon Kennedy.
