With so many rumours circulating, you may be wondering if Leon dies in Resident Evil Requiem.
The popular hero from Resident Evil 2 and 4 was back in a new game, Requiem, joined by a new character named Grace Ashcroft.
If you want to learn more about Requiem, check out the complete weapon list, achievements, and any safe codes you might have skipped.
Just a heads-up: this article contains significant spoilers for the story of Resident Evil: Requiem.
Let’s get straight to the point: here’s what happens to Leon Kennedy, and whether he survives Resident Evil: Requiem.
Does Leon die in Resident Evil Requiem? Leon’s canon fate explained
There are two endings to Resident Evil Requiem. One in which Leon dies, and one in which he lives.
You will be pleased to learn that Leon does not die in the canon ending of Resident Evil Requiem.
In this conclusion, Grace sets Elpis free, revealing it’s not a virus at all, but a universal cure for all viral diseases.
In Greek mythology, Elpis is a lesser goddess representing hope. It’s therefore quite fitting that hope is what ultimately stops the virus.
Releasing Elpis allows Grace to give Leon the cure, saving his life so he can continue fighting Victor Gideon in the final battle.

In an alternate, unofficial ending, Grace chooses to destroy Elpis rather than liberate it, greatly angering Zeno, who is a clone of Albert Wesker from the original Resident Evil series.
In retaliation, Zeno unceremoniously kills Leon, pretty much ending the game there and then.
That ending didn’t feel right for Leon S. Kennedy, thankfully the official ending lets him continue fighting zombies.
