Here's Why Resident Evil 9 Does Not Feature Leon S Kennedy as Protagonist
Briefly

Capcom showcased Resident Evil Requiem gameplay at the Capcom Spotlight livestream, revealing both first-person and third-person perspectives. The game's director, Koshi Nakanishi, emphasized the theme of 'addictive fear' as a core concept. The livestream featured gameplay showcasing the protagonist, Grace Ashcroft, as she navigates dark corridors and explores a manor. Nakanishi noted the difficulty of integrating Resident Evil icon Leon S. Kennedy into a horror context, leading to the introduction of a new character. The decision to include both gameplay perspectives stems from player preferences for either style, aiming to enhance the gaming experience for all fans.
In our analysis of recent gameplay trends in the series, we found many players prefer either first-person or third-person titles exclusively, so we've included both perspectives in RE9.
The core concept for the game was 'addictive fear', focusing on the experience of being frightened in a way that engages players deeply, creating memorable horror moments.
