'Half the Fans Would Want to Hang Me' — Resident Evil Requiem's Leon Voice Actor Stays Neutral on Ada vs. Claire Debate

Nick Apostolides, the voice actor for Leon S. Kennedy in Resident Evil Requiem, has humorously remarked that 'half the fans would want to hang me' if he took a stance on Leon's romantic interests. This comment came in response to a PC Gamer interview probing the character's future after the game's revelations.

Spoiler alert for Resident Evil Requiem: The game hints at Leon being married, with unlockable concept art showing him wearing a wedding band and an ending scene where he appears to put a ring back on after keeping it safe in his pocket. This has sparked intense fan speculation about his spouse.

When asked if Leon should settle down with Ada Wong, a long-term love interest, Apostolides expressed a desire for the character to take a break, perhaps opening an ice cream parlor while occasionally battling zombies. However, he avoided endorsing Ada specifically, joking about the potential backlash from fans.

The identity of Leon's wife remains a hot topic, as Requiem deliberately leaves it ambiguous. Could it be Ada, whom Leon once described as 'like a part of me I can't let go'? Their complex relationship has been a series staple, marked by undeniable tension. An IGN poll this week showed stronger support for Ada over other candidates like Claire Redfield, Leon's partner during the Raccoon City incident who has had less overall screen time with him.

While Apostolides didn't officially choose a side, he admitted to being an Ada fan, noting her crucial role in saving Leon multiple times and urging critics to 'give her a little break.'
