Leaked Document Hints at Leon Kennedy’s Return in Resident Evil 9

Tokyo, Japan – A leaked document suggests that Leon Kennedy, an iconic character from the Resident Evil franchise, will appear in the upcoming game, Resident Evil 9, also known as Resident Evil Requiem. Although Capcom has not officially confirmed Leon’s presence, the document alleges he will feature a look similar to that of Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid, complete with an eyepatch.

The confidential Capcom document surfaced on 4Chan and was highlighted by a user on Reddit named AnchovyKing. The screenshot, which has not been made public, reportedly shows Leon as slightly older and more battle-worn than his appearance in Resident Evil 6. The document reportedly includes additional details, stating that Leon will be joined by new zombie characters and a mutated two-headed dog.

The text within the document focuses on Capcom’s commitment to developing highly realistic game characters and biological models. According to the translation shared by another Reddit user, this entails delivering a superior survival horror experience with immersive worlds that heighten the tension and horror that the Resident Evil series is known for.

“Our team is dedicated to developing realistic game characters and biological models, focusing on delivering a top-tier survival horror gaming experience,” the document states. It emphasizes the precision and detail involved in the modeling and rendering process, which has garnered industry recognition.

As for the leaked image and accompanying text, it contains phrases asserting that every model, from terrifying creatures to RPD officers, has been meticulously crafted, highlighting Capcom’s technical prowess. However, the screenshot should be treated with caution, as it might be a hoax.

Fans do not have to wait long for official confirmation. There are indications that Capcom may announce Leon’s return as soon as next week. Discussions around the authenticity of the leak and Leon’s new design, which some are calling reminiscent of David Bowie’s character in ‘The Man Who Sold the World,’ are already sparking excitement within the gaming community.
