The man, the myth, the legend is finally confirmed for the sequel - here's what you need to know about his role and new look.
The foundation for Leon's gameplay is Resident Evil 4, but you can expect some "new elements" thanks to his "seasoned combat skills."
However, Capcom's Akifumi Nakanishi confirms that the battle "this time will probably push Leon to his limits more than ever before."
The Resident Evil legend is the much-rumored second playable character, investigating the mysterious Victor Gideon and aiding Grace.
Those who pre-ordered the Standard Edition on PS5 have discovered updated cover art with the long-rumored hero in the background.
The survival horror will apparently receive an Expansion Pass with two new "story scenarios" and a "major update" to Mercenaries mode.
From Resident Evil Requiem to an allegedly big Star Wars announcement, this year's ceremony could be the most significant yet.
Ahead of its launch in February 2026, Capcom's flagship horror series is set to take the world by storm on December 11th.
Some footage from NHK's recently aired documentary on the series showcases Grace shooting at and narrowly evading zombies.
Leon's presence in the upcoming addition to the Resident Evil franchise has been a point of suspense for the game's fans. But what will the Racoon City veteran bring to the table in this new adventure...
"The only thing I can say is that there will be characters that have been involved in the Raccoon City incident," says Masato Kumazawa.
In an interview, Masato Kumazawa said that Capcom didn't want to make the stalker enemy "a main part" of Resident Evil Requiem.
Believe what you want, says Capcom's Masato Kumazawa, but unless it's official information, don't "take everything at face value."
"Our development team is just doing its best to make sure that it’s creating the best quality game," says producer Masato Kumazawa.
The company noted that the differences between the two titles in gameplay and technical requirements meant that no issues are expected.
The decision follows Capcom's controversial decision to end Windows 10 support for Monster Hunter Wilds' future updates.
Capcom will delve into all the gory details of its highly anticipated survival horror before it launches on February 27th, 2026.
The iconic Resident Evil Village villain makes a unique return in Capcom's latest, but only if you purchase the $80 Deluxe Edition.
Capcom will also celebrate the long-running franchise in a new video, but it won't feature any new gameplay of Requiem.
Instead of "defeating enemies in a flashy manner," players will "expand their exploration area" and "overcome obstacles" with wits.
