Recent leaks suggest that Leon Kennedy will appear in both Resident Evil 9 and Resident Evil Requiem, with new details about his appearance and role. A leaked internal Capcom document indicates Leon will be a prominent character in Resident Evil Requiem, showing him as older, battle-worn, and sporting an eye patch, reminiscent of Big Boss from Metal Gear Solid. This model aligns with rumors that Requiem could serve as Leon’s final game, potentially marking his end in the franchise. Meanwhile, a leaked image from Resident Evil Requiem reveals a redesigned Leon, hinting at a more mature and rugged appearance, fueling speculation about his significant involvement in the game’s storyline. Capcom has yet to officially confirm Leon’s presence, but the leaks, including a detailed description of highly realistic biological models, suggest his inclusion is highly likely. Capcom is expected to officially reveal more at the Tokyo Game Show later in September 2025, with the game scheduled for release on February 27, 2026.
