Resident Evil Requiem playable characters leaked, and it's not just Grace

According to the leaker, Resident Evil Requiem will reportedly feature three playable characters. So far, only one of them has been officially shown in the cinematic trailer, and that is Grace Ashcroft. She seems to be a central figure in the story and is shown navigating dangerous environments in the trailer.

The second rumored playable character is Leon Kennedy, one of the most popular characters in the Resident Evil franchise. Dusk Golem has suggested before that he will be one of the main protagonists. However, there are no official appearances or hints at the time of writing.

The third character might be Alyssa Ashcroft. The leaker suggests that she will only be playable for a brief period in the game. The trailer confirms that she is the mother of Grace and has passed away. Considering this, Alyssa could likely be playable during a flashback in the game.

As mentioned previously, the only confirmed playable character is Grace, and there is no other promotional content available to explore except the cinematic trailer. Resident Evil Requiem is scheduled to release on February 27, 2026.
