Get ready to rock your best middle-parted hairstyle, just like Leon Kennedy in Resident Evil Requiem. The cover art for the game has leaked on the PlayStation Store, giving us a sneak peek at the return of the iconic protagonist from Resident Evil 2 and 4.
The leaked art features Leon looming behind Requiem’s lead, FBI agent Grace Ashcroft. Players who pre-ordered the standard edition of the game on their consoles and tried to pre-load it were treated to this early glimpse.
Capcom had not confirmed Leon’s presence in Requiem until now. The timing of this leak, just days before The Geoff Awards where Resi Requiem is set to make an appearance, suggests that Capcom may have been saving the reveal for the event. So, if there are no other major announcements, you might have a chance to catch your breath during the awards show.
While the Leon leak is hot off the press, there’s been another potential Requiem leak making the rounds. Gamestop briefly mentioned details about exclusive outfits for Rosemary Winters, daughter of Resident Evil Village protagonist Ethan Winters, in their listing for the PC deluxe edition. This could hint at her involvement in the game, but the extent of her role remains unclear.
Capcom has assured fans that Resi Requiem will not face the technical issues that plagued Monster Hunter Wilds, ensuring a smoother gaming experience for players.
