Kennedy, one of the most iconic characters in the Resident Evil universe, will return as the protagonist in the upcoming title of the series, Resident Evil Requiem, scheduled for release on February 27, 2026. <strong>This announcement, although it was an open secret, has been confirmed by director Akifumi Nakanishi, who has detailed the fundamental role that Leon will play throughout the plot.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gameplay will be distributed equally<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The gameplay of Resident Evil Requiem will be almost evenly divided between Leon and Grace Ashcroft, the other protagonist.<strong> Grace&#8217;s sections will focus on pure horror, while Leon&#8217;s will be oriented towards intense and spectacular action<\/strong>. This duality will allow players to experience a unique pace in the game, alternating between moments of anxiety and tension with more dynamic combat sequences.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Resident Evil Requiem - 3rd Trailer\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T54OWinnymM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In terms of gameplay, Leon will have a new repertoire of skills and an innovative combat system that will combine melee actions with the use of firearms, similar to what fans saw in Resident Evil 4. Nakanishi has emphasized that, although diverse gameplay experiences will be presented, <strong>the narrative will be unique and will develop cohesively, alternating between the two characters as the story progresses.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although there will be moments when Leon and Grace cross paths, Nakanishi has indicated that it will not be the norm. Grace will show her fearful character, while Leon, <strong>as a veteran hardened by multiple battles, will face the creatures that threaten his world without hesitation<\/strong>. This mix of personalities will allow players to experience two distinct experiences within the same title, avoiding the saturation of constant tension and offering moments of action with Leon at the forefront.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Steam\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/3047d89c-96d0-11e6-8546-00163ed833e7\/2505233623\/steam-download.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Steam<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/steam.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/steam.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leon S.
