Leon S. Kennedy Officially Revealed as Second Protagonist in Resident Evil: Requiem

Capcom has released the third official trailer for Resident Evil: Requiem. It featured a massive announcement for fans of the franchise! Legendary hero Leon S. Kennedy has been revealed as the game’s second main protagonist. He will star alongside the previously announced FBI analyst, Grace Ashcroft. The game is set to launch on February 27, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, and PC via Steam.

Dual Protagonists, Dual Gameplay

The introduction of dual protagonists promises to shake up the gameplay! Leon and Grace’s fates become intertwined as they both investigate a string of mysterious deaths. Their investigations lead them to an abandoned hotel at the same time. The series is blending two styles of gameplay. Leon will provide the exhilarating, high-stakes action segments. Grace’s storyline will focus on spine-tingling survival horror. This combination is designed to deliver a double dose of terror and action.

The reveal came with several other exciting updates:

  • Porsche Collaboration: Leon’s trusted in-game ride will be a unique Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT.
