Some fans are still anticipating the arrival of a familiar character in the game.
Ahead of The Game Awards, players have been scouring various outlets for information about Resident Evil Requiem. Recently, a store listing drew particular attention.
GameStop briefly listed The Sanctuary Expansion Pass — a season pass said to include two story expansions and additional Mercenaries content; the DLC entry also referenced a costume pack for Rosemary Winters.
Images have also circulated online: according to reports, PlayStation users who pre-ordered Resident Evil Requiem noticed an updated poster featuring Leon in the interface.
However, since not every pre-order customer has seen this artwork, some suggest these images may have been generated by AI.
Meanwhile, the well-known insider Dusk Golem continues to insist that Leon will appear in the game:
I’m 100% certain Leon will be in Resident Evil Requiem. People should understand I’m not speaking from scattered hints — I can say, with absolute confidence and without the slightest doubt, that he will be a playable character in RE9. In a way I regret sharing this because it’s sparked so much discussion. I don’t know Capcom’s marketing plans; I never expected this level of secrecy from the developers.
