The upcoming Resident Evil Requiem is looking very violent and gory indeed, with an inordinate amount of gruesome calamity on offer. It wasn't always intended to be this way, though, as the original concept involved Leon going on a stealthy mission, but the devs thought better of subduing the franchise mainstay.
"We actually tried to make a genuine horror game with Leon," Koshi Nakanishi, director of Requiem, says during a showcase for the game, "but sure enough, we thought that people wouldn't want to see a timid Leon. That was the overwhelming opinion, at least."
