Leon Kennedy actor Nick Apostolides explains why he thinks Capcom chose Leon to return for Resident Evil Requiem, when it could've easily been a Grace-centric game. Apostolides explains, "I think there'd just been so much momentum with Resident Evil 2 Remake and 4 Remake, his story, his arc. And they just wanted to, not complete it, but just continue that arc and find out where he is now in current day." Resident Evil Requiem's protagonists are so different, Capcom says "it’s almost like having 2 games" Resident Evil Requiem has "a different kind of replay value" because Leon can mow down zombies Grace leaves behind Resident Evil Requiem's dual protagonists aim to marry "the most terrifying horror and the most thrilling action" While he obviously would be a fan of his character returning, Apostolides notes that "it was a really good idea to do that, because so much of his PTSD and his career has been centered around that city and the RPD station. That's where it all began, and that has created a whole culture around this guy over the past 28 years, since 1998. So I think it was a really interesting decision, and it almost does feel like two different games." And the merging of both Resident Evil's horror and action pedigree was the right move, as Apostolides explains, "This could have been just a solo Grace game, her own story, introducing a new protagonist, like they did in Resident Evil 7, in Village. It could have been that. And then they just perfectly married these two game styles and these two stories, they intertwine them brilliantly." Resident Evil fans would "go ballistic" for a Code Veronica remake, says Leon Kennedy's actor, spitting 100% facts.
