Capcom Is Insisting That Grace Is The Main Character In Resident Evil Requiem

Leon Stans Know The Truth, Though

Since Requiem was revealed, the insiders who reported that the game would feature Leon Kennedy have doubled dꦫown and insisted that Capcom is just hiding hi🧸m from the game's marketing for now. That certainly seems believable coming from the rug-pulling Capcom, who is also doubling down on the idea that it's all going to be about Grace.

, a message from Requiem's director Koshi Nakanishi was recently shared, . At one point in the message, Nakanishi refers 👍to Grace Ashcroft and says that she's the "new main character" of the game.

If Capcom's not just trying to hide the truth, it's possible that Leon will still return and just have less o🥀f a prominent role than we all thought. That, or he's not even in the game at all.

This is seemingly supposed to confirm that Grace is the protagonist of Requiem and the only character we'll be playing, potentially in response to all of the rumours about Leon returning. The choice in wording is interesting, though, as even if Leon does return, it'd technically still be true that she's the new main character of Requiem.

Of course, most Resident Evil fans are choosing to believe it's just going to be ♒a bait and switch still, but it is interesting that Capcom is doubling down on the idea when everyone else has made up their min🏅d already.
