Capcom just dropped the latest trailer for "Resident Evil Requiem" during Sony Interactive Entertainment's (SIE) "State of Play" showcase, and it's packed with new plot clues! Most importantly, it officially confirms what fans have been speculating for ages: Leon S. Kennedy is infected once again.
The trailer shows Leon's hand looking dark and diseased, seemingly losing control, hinting that he's on a ticking clock.
In fact, eagle-eyed fans had already spotted unusual gray-black marks on his neck in previous teasers, sparking infection rumors. Now, these new visuals are practically an official confirmation, leaving everyone super worried about the fate of this iconic character.
And that's not all! The trailer also features a fleeting glimpse of a blonde female character. While the shot is super brief, many players are convinced it's none other than Sherry Birkin. If the rumors are true, this would mark her significant return to the main storyline, and long-time fans are absolutely buzzing with excitement.
For veteran "Resident Evil" players, another deeply moving moment in the trailer is Leon's return to the ruined streets of Raccoon City, even stepping inside the Raccoon City Police Department where he once served. Heading back to this land filled with memories and scars after all these years carries immense symbolic weight.
"Resident Evil Requiem" is set to launch on February 27, 2025, meaning we're just weeks away! As the release date looms, this trailer might be the last major reveal before launch, leaving us with even more suspense for the series' next chapter.
