At the Game Awards, CAPCOM released their latest trailer for the most anticipated game of next year, Resident Evil: Requiem. The new trailer not only showed what horrors await fans, but also the return of an iconic character, Leon S. Kennedy, who will be a playable character.
FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft is investigating a series of strange deaths that are somehow connected to her own mother’s death, and her investigation is bringing her back to the remains of Raccoon City. As fate would have it, someone else was investigating the same deaths and had returned to the city, Leon.
While gameplay for Grace is promised to be a heart-pounding survival-horror experience, Leon’s promises to be action-packed!
Additional unforgettable updates were also unveiled at The Game Awards, including:
- Buckle Up for a Legendary Ride: Resident Evil and Porsche, the world-renowned vehicle manufacturer that has captivated car enthusiasts worldwide for decades, are teaming up for the ride of a lifetime. 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.
