During the latest State of Play broadcast, Capcom unveiled an extensive trailer for Resident Evil 9: Requiem, revealing several surprises. The game will alternate between two protagonists: FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft, whose story promises a chilling survival horror experience, and special agent Leon S. Kennedy, focused on action. As IGN’s News Editor Tom Phillips reports, the trailer suggests that Leon may be infected by a virus affecting his physical condition. The trailer depicts Kennedy with a grubby, gray hand and rotting marks on his hand and neck, hinting that he is running out of time to heal himself. This infection increases the stakes, requiring players to manage Leon’s health alongside resources and heightening the sense of danger during certain sequences. Fans have expressed their concerns on social media platforms such as Twitter and Instagram regarding Leon’s apparent infection. The trailer also offers a brief glimpse of a familiar blonde character, prompting speculation that Sherry Birkin is returning. The trailer also introduces three key characters who will play pivotal roles in the story: Emily, a young girl confined to the Rhodes Hill Care Center and discovered by Grace.
