New rumors about Resident Evil Requiem suggest the game may be the final chapter in Leon S. Kennedy's journey. Although Capcom has yet to confirm the information, inside sources claim the title will share the lead role between Leon and Grace Ashcroft, but with a special focus on the veteran agent, possibly concluding his career.

The revelation raises both expectations and concerns among fans, who await to discover whether Leon's departure will come through retirement or a more tragic fate. Scheduled for release in 2026, the game promises to combine nostalgia with new challenges.
Leon and Grace: protagonist duo
Resident Evil Requiem was announced during Summer Game Fest, with Grace Ashcroft as the highlight of the trailer. However, insiders point out that Leon will be the second playable protagonist, with a significant presence in the plot. Therefore, his role is expected to be even greater than Chris Redfield's in Resident Evil Village, guaranteeing memorable moments for fans of the character.
Possible farewell to Leon
Leon S. Kennedy has carved out a niche for himself in the franchise since Resident Evil 2 and has become one of the saga's most iconic characters, especially after the success of Resident Evil 4. After sporadic appearances in recent years, Requiem could be the final straw for his main story. At 50 years old during the game's events, it would make sense for the character to retire from fighting bioterrorism, either through retirement or a more dramatic end.
Capcom still maintains the mystery
Despite statements from insiders like AestheticGamer, Capcom has not confirmed the rumors about Leon's departure. The company is keeping the character's fate secret, fueling theories and debate within the community. There's also the possibility that he will continue to appear in prequels or spin-offs, keeping his presence alive in the Resident Evil universe.
Expectations for Gamescom 2025
Players won't have to wait until the February 27, 2026, release for more information. Resident Evil Requiem will be present at Gamescom, with a new trailer scheduled for Opening Night Live on August 19. This presentation may provide clues about Leon's role in the plot and the game's tone.
