In a new interview, Resident Evil Requiem game director Akifumi Nakanishi confirmed his previous statements that Leon Kennedy is "a poor fit for horror."
Quiet moments where the hero hides from monsters in fear don't suit him, so his chapters focus on intense, adrenaline-fueled action. Grace's sections, on the other hand, are the scariest. This time we really emphasize the difference in their experience. It's almost like two completely different games in one.
The developer replied that this contrast gives the game a unique rhythm: "like jumping into cold water after a hot sauna."
Resident Evil Requiem will be released on February 27 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Switch 2.
