Announced during The Game Awards, the legendary Leon Kennedy is set to kick the action up a notch in Resident Evil Requiem.
The ninth main installment in the Resident Evil franchise is confirmed to feature a dual protagonist system, intertwining Grace Ashford and Leon S. Kennedy’s stories as they investigate a series of strange deaths that may just lead to uncovering the hidden truth behind the infamous 1998 Raccoon City Incident.
Based on The Game Awards trailer, the legendary Leon S. Kennedy kicks the action up a notch, as he begins investigating a dead body found in an abandoned hotel – the same hotel that FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft is simultaneously investigating.
The reveal also dives into the reasoning behind CAPCOM’s decision to include dual protagonists in Resident Evil Requiem, with Leon handling business via exhilarating, death-defying action, while Grace steels herself through spine-tingling survival horror. Fans can look forward to two unique experiences with each protagonist.
Not only that, CAPCOM revealed a collaboration between Resident Evil and Porsche. Together, the two iconic brands will debut a unique Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT in-game as Leon’s trusted ride, providing a legendary ride for a legendary character.
The Resident Evil Requiem Deluxe Edition now also includes three Leon Costumes – Resident Evil 4, “Apocalypse,” and “Film Noir” – plus a DSO emblem weapon charm. Pre-orders are available now, and all pre-orders will receive Grace’s gritty costume “Apocalypse” as a bonus.
