Resident Evil 9 Focuses on Horror, Sidelines Leon Kennedy
The director of Resident Evil Requiem explains that Leon Kennedy is too much of a badass to be suitable for a horror-focused game, leading to the choice of a new protagonist, Grace Ashcroft, who embodies vulnerability and fear, aiming to create a more immersive horror experience. Leon may still appear, but the game centers on a character more relatable to players' fears. The game is set to release on February 27th across multiple platforms.
