If you were somehow worried that Resident Evil Requiem was a send-off for Leon Kennedy, I wouldn't stress, as the game's director is down to bring him back after retirement age.
Speaking to Eurogamer, Resident Evil Requiem director Koshi Nakanishi explains: "It's not a cast iron rule that whenever we come up with a new game and we decide to release it here, that we have to exactly age everyone up to match it or anything like that." Granted, age has never really been a factor – Leon himself is pushing 50 in Requiem, but he moves and looks far younger than that (especially at the end of the game).
