Resident Evil Requiem: Release Date, Leon Kennedy's Return Confirmed and More

The Game Awards on Thursday revealed new games such as Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic and Control Resonant, but one of the biggest games shown was already revealed earlier in the year. Resident Evil Requiem is the ninth entry in the main Resident Evil series and takes players back to where the games started while seeing the return of a fan-favorite character.

A new trailer for Resident Evil Requiem finally reveals the antagonist of the game and confirms that Leon Kennedy is back, though it's unclear what he's been doing since Resident Evil 6. Also shown in the footage was Victor Gideon, a former doctor who looks like he's been experimenting on people -- and himself -- as he intimidates the other main character players will control, Grace Ashcroft.
