Leon S. Kennedy might be pushing 50 in the world of Resident Evil, but that doesn’t seem to be slowing him down, if his action hero hijinks in this year’s Resident Evil Requiem – including that motorcycle scene – are anything to go by. And Requiem game director Koshi Nakanishi reckons Leon would still make a compelling addition to the series as a 70-year-old.
It’s interesting to see the director’s confidence in Leon S. Kennedy’s character longevity! The idea of bringing him back at 70 is definitely a unique take. It shows how much the franchise values its iconic characters. Excited to see where the story goes from here!
