While it was one of the worst kept secrets of Capcom‘s Resident Evil Requiem, last night at The Game Awards we got to see Leon Kennedy’s return to the legendary franchise. Grace Ashcroft and Leon S. Kennedy – intertwined as dual-protagonists, they investigate a series of strange deaths that may just lead to uncovering the hidden truth behind the infamous 1998 Raccoon City Incident.
Dual protagonists in Resident Evil Requiem will provide a blend of gameplay that will shake the very core of players’ souls with Leon handling business via exhilarating, death-defying action, while Grace steels herself through spine-tingling survival horror.
Capcom also added a few new nuggets of info for fans when Requiem launches:

Together, the two iconic brands will debut a unique Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT in-game as Leon’s trusted ride, providing a legendary ride for a legendary character.
- Even More Deluxe Edition: The Resident Evil Requiem Deluxe Edition now also includes three Leon Costumes – Resident Evil 4, “Apocalypse,” and “Film Noir” – plus a DSO emblem weapon charm.
