Leon S. Kennedy is finally back. After months of leaks and quiet hints, Resident Evil Requiem has confirmed his return with a brand-new trailer shown at The Game Awards. Fans have waited for this moment, and the reveal delivers. Leon looks older. He looks tired. But he still carries the same presence that made him a series icon.
The trailer also gives a quick look at the game’s new villain, Dr Gideon. His brief appearance sets the tone. Dark. Threatening. Full of mystery. We also get a short taste of Leon’s gameplay. It looks heavy and brutal, with close-range attacks that hit hard.

Resident Evil Requiem combat reveal raises big questions about Leon Kennedy
This first look was overdue. Resident Evil Requiem launches on 27 February 2026, which is just over two months away. With the release date so close, more details about the combat system should land soon. The game features both Grace and Leon, and it will be interesting to see how their styles differ in action.
The atmosphere already seems strong. If the full game keeps that same energy, fans are in for something special.
Resident Evil Requiem arrives on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch 2.
