Fans are concerned about Leon S. Kennedy's fate in Resident Evil Requiem after new images show a mysterious mark on his neck, sparking theories about his potential death or infection, amid hints from Capcom about a significant secret involving Leon and the game's theme of hope and disaster.
A slip during a livestream appears to have accidentally confirmed Leon S. Kennedy's return in Resident Evil 9: Requiem, fueling speculation that he will play a major role and possibly his final appearance in the series, although Capcom has not officially confirmed his involvement.
Leon S. Kennedy was initially considered as the protagonist for Resident Evil Requiem but was deemed a bad fit due to the game's core theme of 'addictive fear,' which conflicts with his fearless character. The game features a new lead, Grace Ashcroft, and is set to release on February 27 for multiple platforms.
The first full trailer for Resident Evil: Death Island, the fourth animated movie in the franchise, has been released. The movie will feature the first official on-screen encounter between Leon S.

The movie will be released in cinemas in Japan on July 7 and distributed worldwide by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.
Players of Resident Evil 4 Remake can skip the opening village fight by shooting the church bell from the rooftop of the main house. This trick can save ammo and health, and give players more time to search for items.

Modders have already created a Shrek mod for the Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw Demo, replacing the chainsaw-wielding Dr. Salvador. Other mods include replacement skins for Leon, such as Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas star Carl “C.J.” Johnson and even a femme version of Leon. The game launches on March 24 on PlayStation, PC, and Xbox platforms.
