Capcom tries to explain why Leon isn't the star of Resident Evil Requiem
Briefly

Resident Evil Requiem aims to innovate within the series by presenting a more relatable protagonist, Grace Ashcroft, an FBI intelligence analyst. Unlike previous heroes, she embodies vulnerability, using her wit and training to confront fears. While Leon S. Kennedy remains a beloved character, the game director suggests that Grace's relatable qualities may align more closely with players' experiences. Set in Raccoon City, the game integrates familiar elements from past entries while emphasizing a new narrative driven by Grace's personal investigation into her mother's death.
Grace Ashcroft, our protagonist, is designed to be relatable and human, unlike the superheroic figures in past Resident Evil games. Her intelligence and ingenuity take center stage as she faces horror.
In Resident Evil Requiem, players will experience the game alongside Grace, who embodies a realistic character with vulnerabilities, as she confronts fears and challenges in a suspenseful narrative.
