Resident Evil Requiem’s Nick Apostolides Has a Retirement Plan for Leon Kennedy That Sounds Like a Cozy Life Sim

Few characters in gaming have endured the way Resident Evil Requiem‘s Leon Kennedy has. Since his debut in the original Resident Evil 2 in 1998, the rookie cop turned government agent has been thrown into one nightmare after another, battling everything from zombie outbreaks to global bioterror threats with seemingly little time to breathe between each new conflict. Over the years, Leon has become one of the franchise’s most recognizable faces, appearing in multiple mainline Resident Evil games and remakes while maintaining the same mix of competence, charisma, and empathy that made him stand out in the first place. Now, with Leon returning once again in Resident Evil Requiem, players are getting to spend some time with a version of the character who has now spent decades fighting the undead and the people responsible for unleashing them.
