Overview

• Well-known leaker Dusk Golem, echoed by outlets like Destructoid and FandomWire, claims Leon S. Kennedy appears alongside new lead Grace Ashcroft.
• Most of Leon’s chapters are reportedly set in 2020 with more action-focused gameplay, including at least one vehicle-driven, open-ended segment.
• Grace’s campaign is said to unfold primarily in 2028 with slower, survival-horror pacing, creating a deliberate contrast with Leon’s missions.
• Residence of Evil says it corroborated parts of the leak and expects Leon’s look to be older, with graying hair, a beard, and a black jacket.
• A full Leon reveal is rumored for Tokyo Game Show, with pre-orders to follow, and a February 27, 2026 launch for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC is reported but not confirmed.
