We whitethorn present cognize the solution to Capcom's devious Resident Evil Requiem Final Puzzle, but a full caller enigma is conscionable opening for fans — 1 centered connected Leon S. Kennedy, and a immense concealed that's lone hinted astatine successful the game's closing moments.
Warning: Spoilers for Resident Evil Requiem follow.
Concept artwork for Leon S. Kennedy unlocked aft beating Resident Evil Requiem shows a look astatine the hero's hand... wearing a wedding band.
There are 2 versions of this artwork: 1 wherever Leon's manus is infected and ring-less, and 1 without the corruption wherever a metallic ringing tin beryllium seen, worn connected his ringing finger.
Leon spends astir of his clip successful Requiem showing signs of nasty corruption — thing helium hides nether a brace of gloves. (Even if you unlock alternate glove-less outfits, helium inactive appears to beryllium ring-less.)
Watch the game's last cutscene highly carefully, however, and you'll spot him yet discard these gloves arsenic helium walks distant from Grace — past scope into his backmost pocket. His manus movements present are deliberately subtle, but lucifer up with him affixing a ringing backmost onto his finger, present helium has been cured and is yet heading backmost off-duty. It's pugnacious to spot clearly, but fans person besides zoomed into his manus successful the last changeable of him walking distant — and yes, determination is the glint of thing there.
As you mightiness expect, the proposition that Leon S. Kennedy is present joined has sparked an tremendous magnitude of statement among fans, with the evident adjacent question being — who is Leon joined to? Already, fans person formed beardown opinions connected whether it is idiosyncratic we person seen before, and if so, who is much suited to Resident Evil's starring guy.
The astir evident campaigner is Claire Redfield, sister of Chris, and Leon's co-star backmost successful Resident Evil 2. Claire being Leon's woman would supply a bully symmetry with this communicative being acceptable backmost successful Raccoon City, and besides necktie Leon to Chris arsenic brothers successful law. The game's ending, which namechecks Chris but keeps him offscreen, adjacent seems similar it is mounting thing up present — though it's unclear whether this is for DLC, a abstracted aboriginal crippled oregon conscionable for the fans.
"Realistically going disconnected remake communicative Claire would marque the astir consciousness narratively," wrote TheGrimmBorne successful a lengthy reddit thread connected Leon's emotion life. "OG games pushed Ada a lot, the remake seems to propulsion Claire arsenic the main romance. In 4R helium is highly untrusting and 'over' Ada, successful 2 the manager consecutive told Leon and Claire to speech acting arsenic if they person a crush."
And past there's Ada. Leon has pined aft her for astir of the series, and memorably referred to her successful Resident Evil 4 arsenic "like a portion of maine I can't fto go." But is she truly the marrying type? Other fans, meanwhile, person suggested that Leon is concealed hitched to Sherry, though there's thing circumstantial successful Requiem that would corroborate that.
"He whitethorn not beryllium joined successful the accepted consciousness with a canine and picket fence, but I deliberation he’s symbolically disconnected the market," wrote UnusualShopping successful different lengthy reddit thread. "Romance has been a struggle successful his life. Part of his peculiar arc moving forward, is his person lad persona being moved connected from. I expect him and Ada, immoderate clip disconnected screen, person travel to a much authoritative understanding. He has different options that would each marque bully partners, but narratively, if it’s not Ada each of that physique up was for… what?"
Alternatively, could this conscionable beryllium Capcom giving Leon a quiescent quality moment? If this is the past clip we spot Resident Evil's beloved floppy-haired hero, we astatine slightest cognize helium present has a happier beingness extracurricular of work, beyond shooting monsters and redeeming the world.
