Leon S. Kennedy: the man, the myth, the man, the myth… Resident Evil Requiem is surrounded by rumors of the dreamy federal agent’s return, but producer Masato Kumazawa is encouraging fans to focus only on tangible facts.
“Considering that now is the time when AI [can be used to make] videos and photos,” Kumazawa tells the website Stevivor through a translator, “we don’t know what’s right or what’s wrong.”
On that note, “There has been a photo lately of Leon with an eye patch,” Kumazawa says, “and just basically saying there’s a DLC or a new costume for Leon – but just to make sure, these are all fake news.”
“Apart from any official information that Capcom has released, the rest is more detective work,” the producer says. “So I would suggest to please not take everything at face value.” And definitely don’t take everything at eyepatch value – that’s even worse.
I played Resident Evil Requiem and kept shouting at the protagonist, but the fact that she’s a bit useless is kind of the point.
