Throughout the development of Resident Evil Requiem, fans have been overwhelmingly focused on Leon Kennedy, hoping to see him either appear in the game or be a playable character. This isn’t just a small group of people – the interest is widespread enough that the game’s producer has addressed the rumors.
Resident Evil Requiem is the ninth major installment in the long-running horror franchise. While Resident Evil 7 focused on being frightening, and Resident Evil 8 successfully created a chilling atmosphere in a seemingly peaceful village, Requiem returns the action to Raccoon City. Fans are eager to find out if the popular character Leon Kennedy will appear in this new game.
Could Leon Kennedy Be In Resident Evil Requiem?
Masato Kumazawa, the producer of the upcoming Resident Evil Requiem sequel, recently discussed the project in an interview with stevivor.
Just a heads-up, I was getting Kumazawa’s answers through a translator, so things might have gotten a little mixed up in the process – it happens, right? But when I asked about Leon Kennedy and if he’d be showing up in the new Resident Evil Requiem, Kumazawa kept it super simple. He just said…
Everything beyond Capcom’s official announcements is essentially speculation from players, so it’s important to be cautious about what you see online. With AI now able to create realistic videos and photos, it’s hard to know what’s genuine. Players are free to interpret things as they wish, but unless Capcom officially confirms something, we can’t verify it. For example, recent photos of Leon with an eye patch and rumors about DLC or new costumes are likely fake.
Kumazawa never directly confirmed Leon isn’t in the game. He simply said rumors are just that, and the leaks could be generated by artificial intelligence. However, that’s exactly the kind of response you’d expect from a public relations professional in this situation.
It’s not surprising he wouldn’t confirm Leon’s appearance in the next Resident Evil game – that would spoil the surprise! He could have easily denied the rumors, but he didn’t. Just because something is reported as false doesn’t mean it is false, and we’ve seen developers mislead fans about things happening in games before.
Capcom cleverly tricked fans at Summer Game Fest 2025 by initially hinting at Resident Evil 9 news, only to reveal the game later in the show as a surprise.
A Leon Kennedy skin inspired by the upcoming Resident Evil Requiem has been discovered on the PlayStation Portugal pre-order page, strongly suggesting the popular character will play a role in the new game.
We’re continuing to follow the developments and latest information about Resident Evil 9. Do you believe Leon will appear in Resident Evil Requiem? Share your thoughts on the TopMob Discord server!
Just heard some crazy news! Apparently, the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 is blowing up and might be the most-watched trailer ever on YouTube. On the flip side, it looks like Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 isn’t getting the best reception, with some pretty low user scores on Metacritic. Definitely worth checking out if you’re keeping up with gaming news!
