Last night, Capcom gave everyone at The Game Awards the long-expected reveal that Resident Evil Requiem will, in fact, see the comeback of rookie cop Leon S Kennedy as a protagonist alongside Grace Ashcroft. Of course, Leon isn't really a rookie these days – but the developers believe age is only making him cooler.
If the new trailer didn't make it clear enough, Capcom's now explicitly confirmed that Leon and Grace represent two different gameplay styles. "Grace's gameplay is based on Resident Evil 2," director Akifumi Nakanishi explains in an interview published by Automaton, "whereas Leon's gameplay includes martial arts and melee moves, based on Resident Evil 4."
