Overview
- Leon S. Kennedy returns as a playable co‑protagonist alongside new FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft, with their sections described as almost equally split.
- Director Akifumi Nakanishi presents Leon as an older, battle‑worn 'ikeoji' in his strongest state yet and says this entry will push him to his limits, while unconfirmed reports suggest possible infection that Capcom has not verified.
- The game uses a single narrative that alternates between the two characters' perspectives, with scenes where they meet as the story progresses.
- Players can switch between first‑ and third‑person camera perspectives at any time, a design choice intended to serve both horror and action play styles.
- Capcom confirmed a Feb. 27, 2026 release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC, and highlighted a Porsche collaboration placing Leon in a custom Cayenne Turbo GT that drew mixed fan reactions.
