Resident Evil Requiem - Reveal Trailer
Potential returning characters in Resident Evil Requiem
Here are the following potential characters who might return to Resident Evil Requiem from the past titles:
1. Leon S. Kennedy:
According to Leaker Dusk Golem Leon is the main playable character in Requiem, with a role of surpassing Grace Ashcroft. The trailer features Raccoon City's ruins with the police department where Leon worked which fuels the speculation and also there is a voice line which is suspected to be his.
2. Alyssa Ashcroft:
The confirmed connection between Grace Ashcroft and Outbreak's Alyssa suggests that Alyssa later may appear in the flashbacks or as a mentor figure. Requiem's focus on legacy storytelling which makes Alyssa's return possible, especially to explain Grace's backstory.
3. Claire Redfield:
Since the Resident Evil 2 Remake the absence of Claire and her ties to Leon and Raccoon city fuels the speculation of return.
Claire might also return as a co-protagonist.
4. Jill Valentine:
Jill's last major appearance was in Resident Evil 3 Remake, and her expertise in bioterrorism fits Requiem's themes. So fans are hoping for her to return as a seasoned BSAA operative, possibly aiding Grace or Leon.
5. Chris Redfield:
Chris's recent importance in 'Village" and his history with Leon makes him likely to be a supporting character. The leaks also hints at a 'mentor' role for Leon, which could extend to Chris guiding Grace.
Resident Evil Requiem has introduced new faces like Grace Ashcroft, but its ties to past games suggest a celebration of the series' 30-year legacy. There are rumors about Leon S. Kennedy leading, alongside potential returns from Claire, Jill, and others, which could bridge generations of survivors.

'Im obsessed with it': Director Zach Cregger on why he wants to direct Resident Evil reboot
Washington DC [US], July 23 (ANI): Director Zach Cregger opened up on his inspiration for helming a reboot version of 'Resident Evil' franchise, reported Deadline. The film adaptation of the Capcom videogame is set to star Austin Abrams, and in a new interview, Cregger revealed why he wanted to tell this story. Cregger is a huge fan of Resident Evil games and claims that he has played Resident Evil 4 a "hundred times" and is "obsessed" with it. "Because I love the games. I played all of the games. I played Resident Evil 4 a hundred times through. I'm obsessed with it. And so, I just want to tell a story that feels like it's honouring the experience you get when you play the games," said Cregger to Comicbook as quoted by Deadline. He continued, "I haven't seen the movies, that's just not my thing. But the games are my thing. That's just a playground I just love....I think the movie is going to rip. I think it's going to rip," as quoted by Deadline. Earlier this year, Cregger attended CinemaCon, where he also provided insight into the Resident Evil film he was working on. "There's a moment that comes in every moment of every Resident Evil game where you find yourself standing in the mouth of a dark passageway. One shot in the gun is left," he said. "You know that something horrible is waiting for you in that darkness, that awful moment where you have to will yourself. That's something that every Resident Evil game has perfected and has kept me and millions of other players returning to the series for decades," added director Cregger as quoted by Deadline. According to Deadline, Cregger added that his film, the reboot of the Resident Evil franchise, will follow one central protagonist from "point A to point B" as they continue their journey. 'Resident Evil' is expected to be released on September 18, 2026, reported Deadline. (ANI)
