New leaks suggest that Leon Kennedy may play a significant role in Resident Evil Requiem, with early footage allegedly revealing his presence. This insight comes from a known insider, sparking fresh speculation about the game’s campaign structure ahead of its February 27, 2026 release.
Insider Reveals Leon’s Subtle Appearance in Trailer
Dusk Golem, an industry insider known for occasional accurate leaks related to Capcom’s Resident Evil series, recently claimed that Leon appears briefly in the Resident Evil Requiem first trailer. Although his presence is minor and easily overlooked at first, Dusk Golem suggests that rewatching the trailer reveals Leon’s subtle inclusion. This discovery fuels hopes that Leon’s story will be more integrated into the upcoming title than initially thought.
Single Campaign Featuring Both Grace and Leon?
Interestingly, Dusk Golem also indicated that most players might experience the game primarily through Leon’s perspective. This implies that instead of separate campaigns for Grace and Leon, Resident Evil Requiem could feature one cohesive storyline combining both characters. Such a narrative approach would be a departure from the traditional split campaigns seen in previous games, potentially offering a more unified and immersive survival horror experience.

Footage Analysis Supports Leon’s Presence
Adding weight to the rumors, Twitter user @RE_Persian analyzed certain sequences from the trailer and highlighted a possible Leon campaign cutscene. The footage appears to be in first-person view but not from Grace’s perspective, as a portion of Grace’s hair can be seen on one side of the screen—something that wouldn’t happen if the viewpoint belonged to her. This subtle clue further supports the idea that players might also control Leon during parts of the game.
What’s Next for Resident Evil Requiem?
As Resident Evil Requiem’s release on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2 draws near, more concrete details about Leon’s role should emerge. Fans eager to experience Grace’s storyline can already find early impressions from Gamescom, showcasing her haunting gameplay. Meanwhile, the possibility of Leon’s campaign adds exciting layers of anticipation to this survival horror title.
