A surprising leak has stirred the Resident Evil community after Sony accidentally revealed Leon Kennedy’s appearance in Resident Evil Requiem. The discovery came through the Portuguese PlayStation 5 pre-order page for the game’s Deluxe Edition, where a special outfit for Leon was mistakenly listed among the exclusive bonus content.

The leak has since been removed, but not before fans captured screenshots showing Leon’s outfit included in the Deluxe pack — confirming his return to the Requiem storyline. This marks the first official indication of Leon’s involvement, as Capcom had yet to confirm any details about his presence in the upcoming title.

While the costume itself remains unseen, the reference in the store description strongly hints that players will either encounter Leon in the main story or unlock him as a playable character through additional content.

Fans quickly took to social media, with excitement spreading across Resident Evil forums and Reddit threads, speculating whether Leon’s inclusion could signal a deeper narrative connection to Resident Evil 4 Remake.

Capcom and Sony have not yet commented on the leak, but many believe an official reveal could arrive soon — possibly during the next PlayStation State of Play or Tokyo Game Show 2025 presentation.

If confirmed, Leon’s appearance could make Resident Evil Requiem one of the most ambitious cross-era entries in the franchise’s modern history.
