Resident Evil Requiem Might Have 3 Playable Characters
Resident Evil Requiem has announced at Summer Game Fest, players are wondering which characters will be playable in the game. Looks like along with Grace, Leon S. Kennedy and Alyssa Ashcroft will also be playable in the game.
Who Are The Playable Characters for Resident Evil Requiem?
Prior to Resident Evil Requiem’s reveal, it was claimed that the new game would feature Leon S. Kennedy as the main character. Leon was not obviously visible anywhere in the Requiem trailer, but reliable insider AestheticGamer has confirmed that Leon is the “main” playable character in Resident Evil Requiem. It’s also possible that Alyssa Ashcroft herself will be playable in flashbacks, a possibility touched on by AestheticGamer in their breakdown of the RE9 trailer.
The Resident Evil Requiem trailer shows brief snippets of Alyssa Ashcroft investigating the hotel where she was allegedly murdered. AestheticGamer said in a tweet that this sequence “may or may not be playable,” but if it is, that means RE9 technically will have three separate playable characters. There’s not enough to go on in the trailer to determine one way or another, but fans can at least count on Leon and Grace being playable in Resident Evil Requiem when the new game launches on February 27, 2026.
Resident Evil Requiem’s release date is only seven months away, and fans can count on Capcom to reveal more details about it between now and then. We know for a fact that Resident Evil 9 will be at Gamescom in August in a playable state, so one has to imagine that plenty more information about the game will be revealed then. And since RE9 was the big announcement from Summer Game Fest, it wouldn’t be a stretch to assume that the game will make an appearance at The Game Awards 2025, which is also hosted by SGF creator Geoff Keighley.
