Legendary recreation director Hideki Kamiya has described his imaginative and prescient for a comfortable Resident Evil sequel starring Leon S. Kennedy in his retirement, in what can be a daring new path for the survival horror franchise.
Kamiya, who directed Leon’s introduction to the sequence in Resident Evil 2, not too long ago made headlines when he was filmed jokingly suggesting that there needs to be a “non-scary mode” for Resident Evil Requiem, the place he may simply benefit from the sequence’ puzzles.
Now, Kamiya seems to have thought extra about this concept — as he has pitched a distinctly non-scary sounding Resident Evil sequel on social media. Responding to a fan who requested if Kamiya may at some point develop a brand new Resident Evil recreation that tied up the storylines of Leon and Claire Redfield, Kamiya steered an idea that noticed Leon having fun with his latter years with no zombies in sight.
Slightly than harpooning mutant crocodiles, Leon would now spend his time quietly fishing for his dinner. Slightly than discovering Regenerators within the freezer, he would now repair house home equipment for his aged neighbours. And as for zombie canines? The one canine he’d see can be his loyal pet hound.
“If I made it, it’d flip right into a recreation the place retired Leon goes fishing within the countryside,” Kamiya stated of his cozy sequel concept, through a post on X/Twitter.
“Forages for wild veggies, bakes bread, walks the canine, tends a house backyard, drives 50 km to the overall retailer for provides, invitations previous buddies over for a barbecue, fixes the neighbor grandma’s oven at her request, sells selfmade lemonade on the native competition… however that’d be cool, proper…?”
I for one would completely play that recreation, however sadly, it is unlikely that is truly what’s in retailer for Leon simply but. Resident Evil Requiem remains to be due to obtain an enormous story enlargement sooner or later sooner or later, and followers have a wishlist of issues they’d like to see (Ada! Chris! A wedding reveal!) that don’t embrace selecting veggies. Nonetheless, who is aware of what Capcom is definitely cooking up. And in fact, all of that is separate to the latest reveal of Resident Evil: Veronica, which is ready to launch sooner or later in 2027.
