Resident Evil Requiem lead will end shipping wars "someday," but you're free to "imagine the peaceful moments" Leon Kennedy spends as a husband until then
In the biggest disappointment to franchise fans since Resi 6, Resident Evil Requiem concept art revealed that Leon Kennedy's now a married man. We've all been wondering who he took down the aisle, but Capcom remains tight-lipped, only hinting that we may find out at some point.
"The answer will become clear someday, but not just yet," Koshi Nakanishi, director of Resident Evil Requiem, told Eurogamer in a statement. "What we wanted to convey in the final scene is simple: Leon now has a 'place to go home to', and we hope you can imagine the peaceful moments he spends there."
I can definitely see our man picking up groceries, taking out the bins, walking the dog, and living the quiet life at times. He seems like the kind of guy who's in some kind of amateur league, maybe basketball or baseball? Pretty likely a jogger too. I digress.
"Leon is a man who says very little about the things that truly matter, but he would sacrifice himself without a second thought to save a life right in front of him," Nakanishi continues. "So what does his ring signify? Resolve? Or a vow?"
The former Raccoon City police department recruit "may never voice the answer himself," and the only implication we're meant to get is that he's got somewhere to retreat to after these horrendous escapades. "Isn't that enough?" Nakanishi states at the end.
Awww - but also, no, it's not. Who is it? Ada Wong? Claire Redfield? Jill Valentine? I'm thinking someone less involved in Leon's world of battling the Umbrella Corporation, but that doesn't make for good shipping, does it?
Whomever it is, they're lucky. And I hope Capcom understands the potential in a slice-of-life narrative game about Leon being all domestic.
