Following a leak earlier this week, Capcom has revealed that Leon Kennedy is indeed starring in Resident Evil Requiem - as both them and previously-announced lead Grace Ashcroft swap protagonist duties in the upcoming RE title.
Leon's campaign is set to be much more action-packed than Grace's equivalent - and you can get an idea of what to expect from that via the new trailer up above. Here's how Capcom sets up Resident Evil Requiem now that Leon has been confirmed and revealed:
"Experience terrifying survival horror with FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft, and dive into pulse-pounding action with legendary agent Leon S. Kennedy. Both of their journeys and unique gameplay styles intertwine into a heart-stopping, emotional experience that will chill you to your core."
Resident Evil Requiem launches for Xbox Series X|S on February 27th, 2026.
