Resident Evil Shouldn't Be Afraid To Let Its Iconic Heroes Say Goodbye

As I was playing through Resident Evil Requiem for the first time, I became convinced that it was a swansong for legendary protagonist Leon Kennedy. He’s been through a lot, starring in three mainline games and several more spin-offs as he became a key player in the series’ overarching narrative. So, when it became clear Requiem would have him return to a ruined Raccoon City to confront past demons and reconcile with deep regrets, it felt like a perfect time to pass the torch.
