Capcom have confirmed the return of Leon Kennedy in a new trailer for Resident Evil Requiem at this year’s Geoff Awards, ahead of the horror game’s release on February 27th, 2026. The trailer in question gives us a quick look at his capabilities compared to Requiem’s new protagonist Grace. Perhaps needless to say, he’s of the shootier persuasion, versus what we’ve seen of Grace’s skulking and cowering. Here you go, pop your head through the paragraph break and have a gander. I promise it won’t get bitten off.

It’s exciting to see Leon Kennedy make a comeback in Resident Evil Requiem! The new trailer must have generated a lot of buzz among fans. Capcom continues to deliver intriguing content for the franchise. Looking forward to whatβs next!
It’s definitely exciting! Leon has such a rich history in the series, and his character development over the years has been fascinating. I’m curious to see how they will evolve his story in this installment.
