As leaked, a new trailer for Resident Evil Requiem has revealed Leon S. Kennedy is making his return to the iconic surival horror franchise.

Stepping out of a car and making a dramatic entry, Leon looks moody as all hell, strutting his stuff before slicing through enemies with a chainsaw later in the trailer.

Both Leon and Grace will be playable characters, with Geoff Keighley suggesting Leon’s sections apparently more action-heavy, compared to Grace’s more traditional horror sections.

The trailer showed off more the story of the game, and some of the key villains including the visor-wearing Dr. Victor Gideon.

The game is out February 27th, 2026.
