Are you looking forward to Requiem? The new Resident Evil is scheduled to debut in February 2026 for PC, Steam Deck, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2.
But the producer of adventure starring Grace Ashcroft look for people to really want to play and anticipate”characters from previous installments“.
Like who? Will it be Leon S. Kennedy? Faced with these and other questions, in addition to debunked rumors, Masato Kumazawa confirmed this and left us with some warnings.

This external hard drive is ideal for PlayStation consoles and comes pre-configured to work as soon as you plug it in.
In an interview with Well-Played, he was asked if there was Resident Evil Outbreak characters in addition to Alyssa (Grace’s mother) in the game.
To which Kumazawa replied: “I would say yes, some characters from previous episodes will appear“, although that’s where your advice comes from.
Something that he considers very important in the coming weeks is precisely what he asks of us, that they not be created “excessive expectations nor much enthusiasm generated“.
To this he adds: “We can’t promise anything about this, but all I can say is that there will be characters involved in the Racoon City incident in the game.“.
This does not confirm that Leon will be in Resident Evil Requiemmuch less a deuteragonist. This opens the door for future cameos, as others could be there.
some would be Claire Redfield (Resident Evil 2) and/or Jill Valentine (Resident Evil 3), although Kumazawa also did not deny the return of other characters seen in Outbreak.
