Resident Evil Requiem director Koshi Nakanishi has warned followers over screenshots that supposedly present him confirming (or at the least, strongly hinting) who Leon S. Kennedy has picked as his long-term companion.
Unlockable idea artwork present in Requiem confirms that the sequence’ most eligible bachelor is now married, whereas the sport’s ending sequence subtly appears to present Leon placing his wedding ceremony ring again on on the conclusion of his time within the subject.
It is a element that has drawn large curiosity from followers, and notably those that imagine Leon has wed one of two potential love pursuits from earlier video games: both Ada Wong, or Claire Redfield. Precisely who he has married, nevertheless, Requiem leaves frustratingly unclear.
Within the hunt for clues, followers have been contacting Requiem director Nakanishi through his social media accounts, requesting extra data. Final week, a group of screenshots purportedly displaying Nakanishi responding to these queries was then posted on-line – with victory claimed by Workforce Ada.
“Requiem does not make it clear, however if you happen to’ve performed the earlier video games, it’s best to get an concept!” reads one response supposedly by Nakanishi. “You already know the reply, do not you?” he additionally allegedly replied, to a fan who requested if Leon and Ada had tied the knot.

I do know it may not be the fitting factor to do,however I can’t conceal how joyful this makes me.After all these years,all of the ready, all of the debates we are able to lastly say it.

Now, nevertheless, the matter has been muddied as soon as once more – this time by Nakanishi himself, who in an Instagram story (noticed by Kotaku) stated he had been “referred to as out for screenshots of edited messages.” Seemingly, it was now Workforce Claire’s flip to cheer.
However what’s unclear right here is that if Nakanishi is referring to “edited messages” to imply that the messages supposedly written by him have been intentionally faked, or whether or not he is merely referring to the collage of messages now being handed round social media as being edited collectively.
The one one that can make clear the matter additional is Nakanishi himself, however alas the director has apparently declared he’s going into “hermit mode” – presumably to keep away from the subject altogether. He is not the one one, both. Talking final week, Leon’s English-language voice actor Nick Apostolides held again from answering his ideas on who Leon had married, as “half the followers would need to grasp me” if he did.
