Leon Kennedy Stardew Valley clone would be amazing, RE2 director jokes

Resident Evil Requiem is one of 2026's best-selling and best-reviewed games, and it put returning hero Leon S. Kennedy through the wringer. After fighting his way through a hospital overrun with zombies and braving bus-sized arachnids in Raccoon City, the handsomest man in video games deserves to get away from it all for a little while.

At least, that's what the director of Resident Evil 2 — and the creator of the game's protagonists, Leon and Claire —seems to think. In a post on X, Hideki Kamiya told a fan who asked about a "continuation of the two grown-up characters" that he'd like to give Leon a gentler experience this time around.
