This week brought us another Resident Evil Requiem showcase ahead of the game's Xbox launch next month, and this latest look at the Capcom horror title focused on how its two protagonists will differ; with our first glimpse at Leon gameplay giving us some proper Resident Evil 4 vibes in the video up above.
While it's true that both Grace and Leon can be played in first and third-person alike, the Leon gameplay up above focuses on third-person combat - bringing all of the pistol whips, dropkicks and stylish takedowns we'd expect from horror's favourite blonde bombshell. Yes, Requiem looks like the scariest RE title since 2017's Resident Evil 7, but at least Leon will bring some levity to proceedings during his gameplay sections... we hope.

Our first look at proper Leon gameplay in Requiem was really the only interesting thing to come out of this latest Resident Evil showcase, with most of the event re-treading what we already know about the title. Speaking of what we already know; it's looking like Requiem won't have a free demo of any kind unlike most recent RE titles - something Capcom hinted at late last year.
Anyway, as we've already mentioned, this week's full Resident Evil showcase is up above for you to take a look at; featuring our first glimpse at over-the-shoulder Leon gameplay alongside some refreshers for the rest of what Requiem is set to offer. Capcom's new RE title launches for Xbox Series X|S on February 27th, 2026.
