Over 1,000 cut voice lines from Resident Evil 4 and Requiem reveal more about Leon Kennedy, the zombies he fights, and a lowkey bromance

Resident Evil is one of those series which rewards nosey players. There’s always notes, recordings, and pictures hidden in the cracks and crevices, all of which give players more info. Whether that be the structural integrity, of Mr. X’s trench coat or the fact that Grace Ashcroft has absolutely zero social life. But it’s not […]

Resident Evil 2’s director believes Capcom has become ‘completely numb to how scary’ recent games have been and wants a ‘non-horror mode’

Something’s wrong with me. No matter how many horror games I play, I just can’t get scared like I used to. Perhaps I’m the problem—maybe a decade of playing horror games pretty much non-stop has irrevocably altered my brain chemistry. Take Resident Evil Requiem, for example—that just doesn’t make the cut for a horror game […]

Remakes are the backbone to Capcom’s success as they provide ‘financial resources’ for new Resident Evil games or standalone ideas like Pragmata

Capcom is on a roll. It had a successful year, what with the release of Resident Evil Requiem and Pragmata, the latter of which sold 2.5 million copies in just three months. And part of this continued success is thanks to all the remakes Capcom has under its belt. “One of the reasons for creating […]

Hideki Kamiya thinks there should be a cozy Resident Evil game, where ‘retired Leon goes fishing in the countryside’

Hideki Kamiya cut his teeth on the Resident Evil games, working as a designer on the original and director of Resident Evil 2 before moving on to other things, like Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, Okami, and Bayonetta. Ironically, he’s not a big horror guy—he recently expressed a desire for a “non-scary mode” in Resident […]

Resident Evil Requiem’s director admits they needed to raise the bar for their zombies to ‘keep having that thrilling experience’

The biggest draw in Resident Evil 9 was undoubtedly Leon Kennedy, but if I’m honest the zombies came in a close second. With yet another mutated strain of the T-virus, these infected are freaky in a whole new way, with many retaining their original memories and habits. “It’s creepier to see that they’re slightly more […]

Resident Evil 9’s director reveals there was a ‘phantom Chapter 2’ that was cut ‘in the process of finalising the game’s structure’

Resident Evil Requiem managed to snag the spot of my favourite modern Resi game on release. At just 10 hours long it managed to have me hooked for every zombie jumpscare and complicated puzzle. I didn’t think it could get much better, but now I’m finding out that there was even more to it. “I’ve […]

Only 40% of players switched to third person during Grace’s parts in Resident Evil Requiem: ‘There are clear differences in this data depending on the platform and region’

Resident Evil Requiem offered up two protagonists, two ways of playing its horror game, and two perspectives, with the choice to switch between first and third person at any point throughout the game players could finally decide just how scary they wanted to make things. If I’m honest, I reluctantly did my first playthrough as […]

Resident Evil Requiem has sold 7 million copies in 2 months—a milestone that took the RE4 remake a year

If you needed any further proof of the terrifying cultural potency of Leon S. Kennedy, here it is: Resident Evil Requiem has sold over 7 million copies in just under two months.

Resident Evil Requiem patch adds photo mode, and apparently ‘Character expressions in some cutscenes have been adjusted to better convey emotion’

Mass Effect Legendary Edition’s photo mode was a constant temptation, pulling me away from dramatic moments to check how they’d look with vignetting turned off and maybe a filter. So I’m kind of glad I finished Resident Evil Requiem before its photo mode was patched in. Firing it up today, I lost a chunk of […]

Now you can replace Resident Evil Requiem’s product-placement Porsche with a drivable hamburger

Resident Evil Requiem’s Hamilton watches aren’t the only product placement in Capcom’s latest action-horror thrilltime. There’s also Leon Kennedy’s Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT, which he hoons around in when there isn’t a convenient motorbike nearby. But if you’d rather not see your middle-aged action hero in a high-performance SUV, modder SinderyMonk is here to help. […]

Resident Evil 1’s remake and the OG Resident Evil 4 are still must-plays, and you can make them both look even better with HD remaster mods

The GameCube era of the early 2000s was a magical time for Resident Evil. Not only did Capcom return to the first game, releasing a much more challenging and intense remake (where mutating, self-reviving enemies first appeared, a feature every Requiem player is VERY familiar with by now), but it also pushed the genre towards […]

Leon Kennedy’s actor has seen all your thirst traps: ‘I found myself in life embodying an avatar that’s just infinitely better looking than myself’

Back in school, we were always told to be careful what we put on the internet, you never know who may see it. The same rule still applies, but maybe all those Leon Kennedy fan accounts forgot, because it turns out that Leon’s current VA, Nick Apostolides, has seen all your thirst traps. “I think […]

We’re a week away from Resident Evil Requiem’s release and getting to see just what’s in store for Grace Ashcroft and Leon Kennedy.
