Leon Goes Home Again in New Trailer for ‘Resident Evil Requiem’ [Watch]
To little surprise, Resident Evil Requiem made an appearance at the Sony State of Play with a new trailer that delves a little into the game’s story, leaving just enough lingering questions to keep fans guessing until the game launches later this month. And for the fans, wait until the end to get a shot of Leon arriving back at his old stomping grounds.
As we already know from previous reveals, Resident Evil Requiem centers around two main protagonists as players experience spine-tingling survival horror with FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft and exhilarating, death-defying action with legendary agent Leon S. Kennedy, with the ability to swap between first-person perspective for deeper immersion, and third-person perspective for more dynamic action whenever you’d like. Throughout the game, you’ll also meet a multitude of supporting characters, including:
- Emily: A young girl Grace finds trapped within the Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center. She is extremely pale and skinny.
- Nathan Dempsey: Grace’s supervisor at the FBI. Though he knows that Grace is still haunted by the death of her mother, he has entrusted her with investigating the recent string of deaths.
- Victor Gideon: The primary suspect in the strange deaths plaguing the United States. Sources indicate he once specialized in T-Virus research at the Umbrella Corporation, the pharmaceutical company at the heart of the Raccoon City Incident.
Resident Evil Requiem launches February 27 for the Nintendo Switch 2, PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series.
