Resident Evil Requiem Not Making Leon the Main Character Makes Perfect Sense

In earlier Resident Evil games like 2 and 4, Leon was a more fitting protagonist due to his integration into the horror genre. However, in Resident Evil 6, some players might have felt that both Leon’s and Chris’ parts of the campaign veered towards a standard action game, rather than maintaining the horror aspect. This is not to say that RE6 doesn’t have its flaws, but it does highlight how experienced protagonists can diminish the fear factor for the player. Given these observations, it’s plausible that Leon may not be ideal as the main character in Resident Evil Requiem, and would instead excel in a supporting role.
