Leon Kennedy actor Nick Apostolides explains why he thinks Capcom chose Leon to return for Resident Evil Requiem, when it could've easily been a Grace-centric game.
Speaking to GamesRadar+, Apostolides says: "They chose to partially center the story around Raccoon City. And if you're going to do that, you need to have certain characters come back, [from RE1, 2, or 3]. You know, you need somebody to come back that Raccoon City really affected." However, Raccoon City obviously affected most of the series' protagonists – arguably Jill Valentine more than anyone – but Capcom went with Leon.
