Capcom Downplays Leon Kennedy’s Role in Resident Evil Requiem
TL;DR
Capcom explained that Leon Kennedy is not suitable as the protagonist for Resident Evil: Requiem because his character is too brave and unlikely to react with fear, which is essential for the horror experience. Instead, the game features Grace Ashcroft, an FBI analyst who must overcome her fears, aligning better with the horror theme.
