During a recent interview, the director and producer discussed the mixed reactions after a recent trailer and demo were revealed without Leon's appearance. While some rumors hint at him as a secondary playable character alongside the new protagonist Grace Ashcroft, the developers emphasized that the game’s tone might not fit Leon’s action-oriented style. They appreciate the speculative interest but want to clarify that Grace is meant to take the spotlight in this continuation of the Resident Evil saga. However, they are cautious about discarding existing lore entirely and plan to keep the series' history in mind as they develop new narratives.
