Okay, it is taking place, everyone keep calm: Resident Evil Requiem’s producer Masato Kumazawa has stated that characters from previous sequence can be making an look within the subsequent Resi recreation, which suggests the potential for Leon Kennedy exhibiting up has simply skyrocketed.
“I might say that sure, there are going to be some characters from the previous sequence to come back in, however don’t over-expect or hype it,” Kumazawa says in an interview with Effectively-Performed (by way of IGN). “We are able to’t promise you something about that, however the one factor I can say is that there can be characters which were concerned within the Raccoon Metropolis incident concerned within the recreation.”
Ever since Requiem was first teased, followers of the sequence (me) have been spreading theories round theories (me, I did that) of Leon’s return. I imply, come on, the setting is ideal, you possibly can’t return to Raccoon Metropolis and never discover that floppy-haired dreamboat creeping round someplace.
The theories received so big that Capcom even needed to go so far as to say that Leon Kennedy is totally not the protagonist of the following sequence, as he is simply too cool to be scared by monsters any extra. However they by no means conclusively stated Leon would not present up as a secondary character or as a cameo which, on the time, was all I wanted to listen to to maintain the flame of hope alive.
Now we now have producer Kumazawa on the report saying that not solely will characters from earlier video games make an look in Requiem, however that will probably be those that have been “concerned within the Raccoon Metropolis incident”. Hell yeah.
You may most likely inform that I am fairly amped at this level. Sorry, Kumazawa-san, I’ve didn’t heed your warning about not getting too enthusiastic about this information. However even with all my pleasure about probably seeing Leon in Requiem, I do additionally need to acknowledge all the opposite doable candidates.
For one, we have already seen Alyssa Ashcroft make an look in one of many trailers by her daughter’s aspect. We may additionally see the likes of Ada Wong, Sherry Birkin, Jill Valentine, or one of many extra seemingly candidates, Claire Redfield. There are many traditional Resi characters who may make an look in Requiem, however truthfully, I am solely actually considering seeing Leon, though Ada can be good too.
