Resident Evil Requiem Game's Trailer Reveals LEon Kennedy as 2nd Protagonist

CAPCOM unveiled a new trailer for its Resident Evil requiem (Biohazard requiem) game during the Game Awards on Thursday. The trailer reveals iconic series character Leon Kennedy as a second playable character for the game. While the series' first playable character Grace Ashcroft's playable segments will focus on a survival horror experience, Leon's segments will have more action-focused mechanics and tone, reminiscent of the action in Resident Evil 4, when Leon was also the protagonist.

CAPCOM describes the game:

Requiem for the dead. Nightmare for the living.

Resident Evil Requiem is the ninth title in the mainline Resident Evil series.

Prepare to escape death in a heart-stopping experience that will chill you to your core.

A new era of survival horror begins in 2026. Technological advancements combined with the development team's depth of experience combine in a story with rich characters and gameplay that's more immersive than ever before.

The protagonist is Grace Ashcroft.

The game was first announced last June, noting that the game would mark a tonal shift for the franchise.

Resident Evil 7: biohazard and Resident Evil Village, the seventh and eighth games in the series, respectively, will get releases for Switch 2 on the same day. There will be a Resident Evil Generation Pack for Switch 2 that includes all three games.

Resident Evil Village, the eighth entry in the franchise, launched in May 2021 for PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC (Steam and Stadia).

Resident Evil 7: biohazard shipped for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in January 2017. It then got releases for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in June 2022. The game shipped in Japan under the title Biohazard 7: resident evil. The game received a cloud version for Nintendo Switch.
