Capcom dropped confirmation that Leon Kennedy joins Grace Ashcroft as the second playable character in Resident Evil Requiem after leaks already spoiled everything. Director Koji Nakinishi told reporters that Grace represents the most terrified protagonist the franchise has ever made, while Leon sits at the opposite end as their strongest hero, and watching these wildly different characters bounce off each other should create something new for the series.

The studio built gameplay around making players feel totally opposite emotions depending on which character they control. Horror games usually struggle to keep players scared once they realize they can steamroll every monster, and past Resident Evil entries featuring Leon definitely lost that fear factor before the credits rolled. Requiem apparently fixes this by forcing players to swap between feeling vulnerable and feeling powerful through different scenarios with each protagonist.

The game hits shelves for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series consoles, and Switch 2 in late February 2026.
