Resident Evil: Requiem Trailer Confirms Leon's Infection and Sherry's Return at Sony State of Play

During tonight's Sony State of Play broadcast, Capcom unveiled a final glimpse of Resident Evil: Requiem, confirming a troubling fan theory: Leon S. Kennedy is infected once again. The trailer shows Leon with a grim, grayish hand, hinting at a race against time to find a cure. This aligns with earlier fan speculation based on enhanced images from a previous trailer, where a similar dark mark was spotted on his neck.

In addition to Leon's plight, the trailer offers a brief but exciting reveal: a familiar blond-haired character appears, strongly suggesting the return of Sherry, as many viewers have noted. For longtime series enthusiasts, the footage also features Leon revisiting the devastated streets of Raccoon City after many years, including a poignant moment at the Raccoon City Police Department, evoking nostalgic emotions.
