At this point, it really seems like Resident Evil Requiem director Koshi Nakanishi is just trolling us about Leon Kennedy not being in the game at all.

Despite Leon having been heavily rumored to be in Resident Evil 9 to some degree, he was completely absent from the game's reveal trailer. Instead, the trailer introduces FBI agent Grace Ashcroft, daughter of Resident Evil Outbreak hero Alyssa Ashcroft, who Nakanishi has said is "the new main character."

Resident Evil Requiem's demo tops the series' scariest moments with what might be the most upsetting monster Capcom’s ever devised, and as a horror baby I'm afraid of how much I want to play it

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
