Resident Evil 2 Dead Shot location testing

While rumors have swirled nonstop about Leon being a playable character in Resident Evil Requiem, Capcom hasn't mentioned anything about it.

These 10 third-person remakes improved virtually everything from their original inspirations through gameplay, side activities, graphics, and more.

Chances are, this is one of the reveals planned for this week's The Game Awards.

Yes, Leon Will Be In Resident Evil Requiem

The image above (via DuskGolem) is a hi-res capture of the key art for the game via the PlayStation Store. Players managed to unearth it by scheduling the pre-load of the game.

While Capcom hasn't said anything about this leak, it's all but offical now, as there is no way Sony would upload a fake key art to a game on the PlayStation Store.

With Resident Evil Requiem set to be featured at The Game Awards, chances are, Leon's reveal would be the highlight of the new trailer or whatever Capcom plans on showing at the event. This confirmation isn't all that surprising, as Leon's name keeps popping up for the game ever since its reveal.
