"Though I have not seen enough of the ninth entry in Capcom's long-running horror series to be sure, I've got a theory, and it's one that some fans have independently come to as well after combing through the trailers. There's nothing in the time I played that outright confirms this is the way things are going to go, but there are clues that I've started latching onto."
"In my time playing , I learned something that astute fans have already picked up on: Leon has some kind of deadly infection . He's looking for a cure, which is why he ends up in the Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center where his co-lead Grace Ashcroft has been taken. The infection manifests in a gnarly wound on his neck, but whatever's going on, he still has time before he turns."
"The game's name, , has a few different meanings, both in and out of the context of the game. A requiem, as the dictionary describes it , is a "mass for the dead," or some kind of musical tribute to the dead. Yes, this could be in reference to Grace's mother Alyssa Ashcroft, whose death is an inciting incident in the story, but it also has a very specific meaning attached to it that links Leon and Grace. Early on in the section I play"
Leon Scott Kennedy appears infected in Resident Evil Requiem, showing a gnarly neck wound while seeking a cure. He searches Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center for his co-lead Grace Ashcroft. The infection threatens to turn him, with unclear remaining time before transformation. The game's title Requiem implies a mass for the dead or musical tribute and could reference Alyssa Ashcroft's death while also linking Leon and Grace. Clues from the playable section and trailers suggest a worst-case scenario in which Leon may die by the game's conclusion.
