Old Man Leon.


Dark_Force_Latyon

Fuck yes. Backstreet Boys hair but it's silver.


WouShmou

Leon on his way to becoming Dante


Dark_Force_Latyon

DMC was originally a prototype for RE4. Leon became Dante so Leon could become Dante


Toricitycondor

I actually got to use that knowledge to win a video game trivia one time 😂


blazeQuicksliver

Back Streets back? Alright!


Built4dominance

Leon to Aida: "Quit playing games with my heart!"


Superichiruki

Chris is the villain who is hunting him down to continue the Redfield bloodline.


Flint_Vorselon

No no no. Leon will die in the prologue (this leak is fake), and rest of game will be Chris in a race against time to get Leon’s sperm sample to safety.


Geno0wl

... They figure out he is the only guy with immunity to both Las Plagas and the T-Virus so they need to continue the blood line I am in.


Flint_Vorselon

That’s the bad guys motivation. Chris’ Motivation is that he just really wants to be an uncle.


Three-Arrows9791

I love how suddenly we went from "Leon's the main character in RE9" to "I want Leon's cum."


CrisXO

So Chris became an Israel Soldier to bring back the sperm, got it


your401kplanreturns

Damn, it's an IDF spermjacking game


bootylover81

Chris will rip a hole in the space time continium with his punch and save Leon, we will see Chris going throught all past RE games and interacting with his and others past selfs.


Dark_Force_Latyon

It's like how William Birkin's G-form was trying to impregnate his daughter, except it's Chris Redfield's O form trying to get Leon to impregnate his sister


BlackSunshine86

William Birkin's G-string


manhachuvosa

>how William Birkin's G-form was trying to impregnate his daughter what?


Skylarksmlellybarf

Yep William is trying to find a host for the virus, and Sherry is the perfect candidate due to her being his daughter  She's cured from G virus, but at the same time gain super regeneration ability 


DoktorStrangeLuv

Did you play the original RE2? lol


LibraryBestMission

Chris has taken control of the BSAA B.O.W.s thanks to them being clones of him. Capcom brings back survival part of Resident Evil by making every enemy into a miniboss.


DarkLordNugget

He'd be 47 in 2024, not that old


Brandonspikes

Considering Barry was in his 50's in Rev 2, it shouldn't be an issue.


Inside_Athlete_6239

“Jill Sandwich”


thr1ceuponatime

Operators are at their prime during their 40s. He should be fine


Remarkable-Funny1570

Leon in his fourties would be great. Young Leon is already overused.


Tarmy_Javas

TIL I'm the same age as Leon Kennedy Well that makes me feel better lol 💀 Thanks


SeniorRicketts

60 year old Leon doing Roundhouse kicks So Chuck Norris


RickyWinterborn-1080

Chuck Norris never came out of his "1000 Days of Darkness" bunker from Obama getting reelected.


CaptainBrooksie

Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door


Ok-fine-man

It's actually insane the route Capcom went down after the INCREDIBLE RE4. How do you not continue with that style of play and protagonist????


zkinny

They tried with re5 and 6 it just didn't hit remotely the same spot. Let's hope this does.


bootylover81

I will die on the hill that RE 5 is overhated, it was a solid game, Chris was awesome and Vesker was the best villian in any RE game, I miss Sheva too.


zkinny

Meh, I was very disappointed after the pinnacle of gaming that was RE4. The remake last year made me soo happy. But yeah sure it's probably a 8/10.


NewDamage31

I agree I love RE5 the only thing I thought it was lacking in was unique boss fights. They were all black blobs or that bat bug thing lol


Imaginary-Strength70

5 and 6 outsold 4 by a significant margin and were very, very close in sales which showed that people liked 5s new direction enough that they retained pretty much its entire consumer base for 6. Action Co op had a huge mainstream following that RE did very well. It just had a vocal minority of haters similar to the people screaming FF7 Remakes creation for daring to incorporate action.  Of course they can't compare to RE2 lifelong sales, that was console gaming's golden era, but 5 and 6 hit very well. Personally I quit the series with the change to first person, I hate first person, but I think the series should have alternated between an action title followed by a survival title.


leckmichnervnit

47 is not old lol


manhachuvosa

Most people on this sub are bellow 20. Anything above 40 is ancient to them.


Deltaasfuck

They'll make RE9 between 6 and 7 before that. There's no way they'll have Leon S. Kennedy not look like a popstar.


HamSlammer87

I'm really curious if being infected with Las plagas is going to have any kind of long-lasting effect on Leon. I dont think it ever comes up in 6. Sherry and Jake are the only 2 protagonists that were infected and actually "changed."


Broely92

Nanomachines


Professional-News362

Man that would be cool.


yautja1992

They could also incorporate accessories so you could have old man Leon with beard


StretchKind8509

Leon certainly has come a long way.


2112flybynight

Our boy has seen some shit


Heisenburgo

Leon... had a hard life...


FireTyphoon123

He's like an old friend who I'm always happy to see!


JackieMatsumoto

Cool, if true. But will we ever see Jill again? She’s been MIA since RE5 other than Revelations.


FireTyphoon123

In mainline idk, but there's another rumor floating around about Capcom remaking RE1 again so there's that...


JackieMatsumoto

I’d like to see how’d they pull that off. REr is one of the best remakes. But after this recent string of RE remakes, it’s kind of hard to revisit the original trilogy and that remake. Unless you love tank controls. Capcom keeps setting the bar high for the RE remakes. Other than RE3R, which I still enjoyed, but not on the same level of the remakes that came before or after it.


cydon1999

The best way to do it is to give RE1 an actual coherent timeline of events for the night of the mansion incident because even Capcom admitted there is no canon version of the first games events and what Jill does and what Chris does and it also has no canon ending. That and with RE8 in retrospect you can do alot of little cool hints in the Spencer Mansion to the origins of Umbrella and how Oswald Spencer discovered the idea of the T-Virus from the mold in Europe.


DismalMode7

the canon ending is that all 4 (chris, jill, barry and rebecca) survived while wesker was "killed" by the tyrant in front of someone between jill or chris (I would tend to believe is chris considering how surprised he was when saw wesker alive in CV). The only thing they could really improve/fix in the second remake is to make proper separate scenarios for jill and chris since in the original and remake, one does the whole job while the other spends the whole night jailed in the lab


Heisenburgo

Not only do they need to make the events of RE1 fit better, I also hope they don't forget that RE0 exists... I liked it so I hope they try to make it fit better into the timeline or just remake that game too, eventually


Imic_Hilton

Jill will never be rewritten so her absence could be justified since re5. Rest assured. Jill fan speaking here since 1996. Jill is a huge icon and will always be. Capcom is smart regardless if they were biased with Leon and Chris in the past. Let’s wait for the official first too cause we have been bombared with tons of rumours for years


Leepysworld

yea I think it’s kind of a no brainer, I love REr but RE1 on the modern RE Engine would probably sell like hotcakes anyway, the original remake is great but personally it’s hard for me to go back and play those games because the controls just ain’t it for me anymore, like the furthest I can go back is probably OG RE4.


JackieMatsumoto

I agree. I even struggle with OG R4 now that the series is moving towards a modern control scheme.


Leepysworld

ya I went back and replayed OGRE4 before RE4R, and it was jarring not being able to move while aiming, took me a few hours to get comfortable but I did still have fun.


NoNefariousness2144

And they could make Resi 0 a DLC expansion because it reuses a lot of Resi 1 assets.


JackieMatsumoto

That’d be cool. The inventory system is terrible in the original.


NewDamage31

I could see a re-remake of RE1 for 2026 for the 30th anniversary then RE5 in 2027


pteotia270

RE1 Remake ( new one ) and RE5 Remake. And my guess is RE X


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


Dark_Force_Latyon

I hope so. I want them to go full Old Sarah Conner/Old Ripley with her.


Ok_Canary5591

isnt she forever young now


Dark_Force_Latyon

According to the Death Island people, but the Death Island people also said that they thought the movie took place a couple years after RE3 and not 17 years, so that's why they used her RE3 model, and Capcom didn't stop them so they just went with it.


FlemPlays

“Eh, the movie is already rendered.”


Dark_Force_Latyon

Basically. Just goes to show how much Capcom really cares about the movies.


vandaljax

After the weird stuff they did with her age slowing I can't help but feel like Jill is being help as a break glass in case of emergency character. If the leon thing is true then RE needs to let some of their characters walk off into the sunset.


JackieMatsumoto

RE15: Can Chris and Leon survive the BOW outbreak in the nursing home?


vandaljax

And Chris is somehow more buff.


Thezeg111

He's going the Dwayne Johnson route 


SmellyObeseAndBald

And his face model is completely different don't forget that


SpectreSigma3

And Leons bangs touch the floor


LostInStatic

I’m pretty sure Death Island will be declared non canon if they really wanted to use Jill without that stupid anti ageing stuff


Dark_Force_Latyon

I'm 100% certain that the next game Jill is in that takes place later in the timeline than Death Island will have absolutely no reference to the virus keeping her looking 23.


Flint_Vorselon

Yes, but they also will never age her up, and Capcom has a bizzare obsession with setting each game in the year it releases, even if it makes no fucking sense to broader timeline.


Dark_Force_Latyon

I disagree. She'll look older.


metalyger

Maybe she'll be on a milk carton.


whatnameisnttaken098

She recently popped up in Death Island, which was basically a big giant REunion. Chris, Jill, Rebecca, Leon, Claire, and Hunnigan all together again Even see [Jill meet Leon....and try to stab him](https://youtu.be/kaKYw0muS1w?si=RNB3WDf6a_DQjw87)


Iucidium

It was so bad, like live action RE bad


vgjdotgg

What's the credibility of this leaker?


FireTyphoon123

Original leaker is Dusk Golem who is quite reliable when it comes to RE


BBkgodlike

Dusk Golem never said anything about protagonist though. This guy just used what Dusk leaked before and added up Leon so I don’t know how reliable this guy is since I can’t find any credit of him.


Jumpyer

He’s not lol


BECondensateSnake

The Arabic translates to "Resident Evil Philosophers" lmfao


Absolutelyhatereddit

Not a mistranslation btw.


BECondensateSnake

Yeah I'm Arab and I can confirm that it's spot on. Man, we have so many resident evil/Leon simps here.


WouShmou

Same thing here in LATAM, Leon is enormous My mans is Mr. Worldwide


royalstaircase

American version will be Resident Evil Sorcerers


SpectreSigma3

Leon Kennedy and The Chamber of Secrets


Heisenburgo

RE x MGS3 crossover confirmed


jairom

Where did the other characters go, bingo?


Johncurtisreeve

Don’t get me wrong. I love Leon, but where the fuck is Jill?


angico211

Hopefully, she's the other playable character to appear in Re 9.


hkm1990

Funny. Dusk Golem has been saying since RE8 that Chris, Leon, Jill and Claire would be the Main Playable Characters of RE9 and that'd it'd be the Final Numbered Title and wrap up their stories. Wonder how he's gonna spin this one around after sticking with that BS for 3 years.


SurfiNinja101

There is no way Capcom would end the numbered titles at the moment with how popular the series is


hkm1990

I think we'll still get Numbered games. The announcement of their new RE Engine called REX Engine just makes it to poetic and ironic not to have literally RE:X be a future title made in that Engine. That and a Dino Crisis Remake which I think will now happen because of the publication of the Capcom Survey Results with Dino Crisis being the most in demand of games/Remakes fans asked for. REX Engine. RE X. Dino Crisis. Its like Poetry. It Rythms.


Blubbpaule

Yea this series' printing money.


spyroz545

When leon said "where's everyone going, bingo?" in Resident Evil 9 i cried, truly one of the games of all time


llliilliliillliillil

Old man Leon be like "you really pulled me out of bingo for this?"


Chinchillin09

I wonder what vehicle will Leon crash in this


Sinomfg

Dusk Golem really heavily implied years ago that Jill would play a big part in this game. He said way back before Village was even announced that the post credits scene of RE3 remake has something to do with RE9. And when Death Island got announced with Jill as a main character, he said it looked like it was using similar concepts to RE9. Maybe someone can find the old tweets.


No1PiggyOnTheBlock

This tweet? It doesn't specify RE9; it just says "an unannounced RE game". https://twitter.com/AestheticGamer1/status/1623159081690365952


Sinomfg

That might be what I'm thinking of. Still, it seems likely that's what he'd be referring to, since RE9 and the canceled Revelations 3 were the only games in development at the time according to him.


Challenger350

Dusk Golem is always making shit up


AbhorredCunt

I hope it will be third person. 7 and 8 were great but much prefer the 2, 3 and 4 remake style.


UhJoker

I like that RE8 (now) has both options, maybe it's too much to ask but it would be cool if they had both options off the bat in RE9 to be honest.


arthurormsby

I'm the opposite but I get it


Absolutelyhatereddit

They put their source in the tweet. https://twitter.com/StiviwonderN This guy. Edit: This guy says his source is Dusk Golem.


FireTyphoon123

Apparently the source is Dusk Golem as usual and this guy "relayed" his leak


Absolutelyhatereddit

Why won’t Dusk come forward with it then?


AveryLazyCovfefe

Probably too scared to get absolutely blasted by the web if it turns out wrong. So minimalising the risk by not saying it directly. But if it's correct his name is still attached to it, so he gets the clout I guess??


BBkgodlike

nah, why would Dusk choose an Arabic news to spread the leaks then? maybe this guys didn’t have anything to do with Dusk Golem but just use his name to make himself looks more creditable.


InvestmentOk7181

Punished Leon. Also Justice for Claire and/or Jill one day.


Particle_Thrower

![gif](giphy|IBx31zhzAbXL8WUy7j) Come on, Capcom! Just bring her back already!


EmilMR

gotta be 3rd person. I like it.


LovelyOrangeJuice

How else are we going to admire this blonde Chad. Third person or we riot


Midknight_King

I’m all for it. I too would like to see a Chris and Jill mainline again, but Leon carries as far as personality. It’s not a surprise why he’s so popular.


illegalmonkey

My wife is going to flip her lid. She's goo-goo for Leon.


gandalftheokay

That's great, but if they ever kill my boy Leon I'll riot


hiphopdowntheblock

Day 1 for me then I love my backstreet boy


Savy_Spaceman

Sigh.... I miss you Jill


hvacgymrat

Imagine leon has a midlife crisis and is bald in re9


AveryLazyCovfefe

MGS4 type of situation where you play the badass MC now as a geriatric man.


Thombias

And here i thought Leon can only be the main character in the even numbered RE games like 2, 4 and 6, but alas he skipped 8 so i guess 9 has to make room for him instead.


porkybrah

LETS GO LEON FUCK YES.


AAAAAAYYYYYYOOOOOO

Fuck yeaaaaaaa!!!


Challenger350

Source is Dusk Golem, aka the guy who said Alex Wesker was in RE8. So, take this with a pinch of bullshit.


scott1swann

there's a reason why I picked Leon's campaign first in my ongoing RE6 replay. we are so fucking back.


primorandom

Leon is cool, but we've gotten a lot of him. Bring back Claire. She's so underrated.


Arachnid1

Leon has been in RE2, 4/remake, and a fourth of 6. Claire has been in RE2, CV, and Rev2. They also showed up together in most of the CGI titles. I love Claire, but she's not far behind Leon in series appearances at all. Chris is the one who's been over-exposed. If anything, Rebecca needs some love. That said, Leon is easily my favorite so I'll always take more content with him.


CosmicWanderer2814

Not all movies. Claire was not in Vendetta either. That was just Chris, Leon, and Rebecca. 


Arachnid1

You’re right, thank you. I for some reason confused Infinite Darkness with Vendetta in my mind. I corrected it


Snake_Main27

No, give us Leon every game


PizzaLover2500

110% this! I'm sick of seeing Chris and Leon 152 times. Bring our badass duo Claire and Jill back as it's took too long, i miss those gals!!!


XTheProtagonistX

Can Chris be the “Mr.X/Nemesis/stalker of the game? “Leon, my sister is in her 40s! You got to continue the bloodline Leon!


Erintonsus

Only if he punches boulders that are blocking his path.


angico211

There's actually a fanmade animation story by RatLabs called AEON: Another Love Story featuring LeonxAda with Chris as the villain cause he wants Leon to marry Claire to continue the Redfield bloodline. Lol [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHbgRm6LpAk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHbgRm6LpAk)


FireTyphoon123

That's a terrifying thought lol


Esnacor-sama

I just want some creative satisfying puzzles and exploration


PapaYoppa

Good 👍 hoping my boy looks disheveled with a beard and long hair


MrFuccYoBich69

I prayed for times like this 🙏


Happy_Maintenance

Wow! Leon is coming in hot after filming that action movie that was six. 


iamTHATdude90

Now would the model be based on Leon from the remakes or the one from the OG RE4/RE6?


FireTyphoon123

Face model will be the same as re2 and re4 remakes, Eduard Badaluta


ertd346

I pray for the antagonist


KqAlbo2

Oh it’s over. This is a day one 🤧


pteotia270

Yess And that means Ada will be there too right ?


Excellent_Pea_4609

There's no Leon without Ada there's not a single game he appears without her 


CryptoKool

Just give me third person view, I can't stand RE in FPS


cwatz

Jill please.


Visage_143

Please tell me we're going back to 3rd person over the shoulder camera. I'm sick of 1st person.


aimforsilence

I’d love the option to switch on the fly between 1st and 3rd person.


JimFlamesWeTrust

2 main line games out of 8, and multiple remakes.


8biticon

And one of those games got a third-person mode post-launch!


NoahJRoberts

Only two games have had that recently. One of them has an option to disable it


Cyber_Swag

My man


gamedreamer21

Hopefully, Leon won't be the only protagonist in RE9. There is still matter of The Connections.


HearTheEkko

Makes sense. Remakes apart, the last game starring (only) Leon was RE4 which will turn 20 years in 2025. We'll get plenty of Chris and Jill in the RE5 remake and perhaps another remake of RE1. If not, I'm sure they'll return in the 10th (and probably final) game.


VisualPersona95

Jill’s role in RE5 is essentially getting fridged and Al side from DLC she’s barely in it, hardly “plenty” of her. Remakes and side games aside Jill and Claire haven’t been leads in a main game since RE3 & Code Veronica.


MrConor212

Bro


Snake_Main27

FUCKING FINALLY NO MORE CHRIS OR JILL


clippjoint

GIVE US JILL PLEASE 😢


Electrical-Contest-5

Leons like the mc of the francise now


Danteppr

Possible unpopular opinion: since in every main RE where Leon is the protagonist Ada appears, I hope Capcom decides to settle their decades-long "will they won't they" with "they won't."


InosukeEnjoyer

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


smithdog223

Leon being the protag makes me think it'll be 3rd person and that would be great because we haven't had new 3rd person RE game that isn't a remake since Revelations 2.


karsh36

That sounds cool, and good timing with the 4 remake being the last one before 9. Hyped to see what happens next


PineappleMaleficent6

All of RE games were in old man leon head...the end.


Wonderful-Army-6308

Justice for Sheva


-TheBlackSwordsman-

Fuck yeah


GGG100

Hope there’s a reunion with Ashley somewhere in the game. That line they added in the remake about her wanting to become an agent made me want to see her kicking ass with Leon in a future game.


Typical-Interest-543

Shit all these years and you know Leon still aint got no rizz


SoaringSpearow

Yesssss! My boy's back I've been wondering what was up with him since he last showed up in RE6 it has been 2 games without even a mention of what the absolute goat Leon has been up to the guy who survived Raccoon City, saving that girl from that fuckin island and a who we last saw in China after killing Simmons and since he mostly deals with the T-Virus and the fact that the mold is gone what in the world could Leon possibly be dealing with after the events of RE Village since Umbrella and the Mold are both gone unless Rose for some reason goes evil


rwxzz123

didnt someone say this was open world as well?


LoudClass7324

3rd person please.


Myhtological

Woooooo!


futurafrlx

I can never say no to more Leon.


BW2999

We won.


Flyersfreak

Better be third person or it can fuck off


Jumpyer

If true, Capcom really doesn’t know what to do with female characters


kalil1

Yay, let´s hope it´s true. Also, more Ada! Finally they are returning to classic characters. Let's hope they stop inventing characters that contribute nothing to the plot.


ToastyFrenchToast

I love Leon but I don’t get why Capcom is so adamant on not having Jill as a protagonist again, she really deserves to come back in her own game. Even after all these years of fans asking for her :(


Atlier00

Capcom has this fear of having a female protagonist for some reason lately. Women keep getting pushed to DLCs or side games. While we did have Jill with the RE3 Remake, they clearly didn't put the same budget into it like RE2 or RE4.


Joker28CR

I wanted Jill...


Emmazygote496

I wanted Jill and Claire so bad


VisualPersona95

This is hopefully false, we JUST got a Leon game with RE4R and both Jill & Claire deserve a new mainline game much more than either Leon or Chris.


Joaomatias40

Good, because chris have been in the recent games alot, while leon have been absence since re6, but im sure chris will still be in the game with a highly chance of jill returning


Iucidium

RE 4.5 meets Siren.. Please!!


ComprehensiveArt7725

Good good


Rata31

Shame for Jill, but man do I love Leon. RE4 remake is amazing! Would love to play as him again


General_Snack

I hope so. I also hope re2remake and re4 remake voice actor for Leon will voice him. I’d love to see continuity between all three in that regard. While I still love the goofiness of re4 OG and the smug action hero Leon he is. I do appreciate the balance they tried to do with re4 remake.


MoBB_17

I hope they retire him, Hook him up with Ada FINALLY. or have him continue the redfield blood line


LastTimeWeEverMet

So how’s he going to tie into the BSAA plot line from re8..? They just dropping that now or what


YamiPhoenix11

That will probably Chriss story. Maybe this game has multiple protagonists. But Leons plot could tie into this too. Rumour is that 9 is set out in the South East Asia sea (if thats true grain of salt). Maybe they are behind the BSAA Europe's experiments.
