Exciting new rumors are circulating about Capcom's upcoming survival horror title, Resident Evil Requiem, suggesting the game may feature three playable characters rather than the previously reported two. According to insider information, players might control fan-favorite Leon Kennedy alongside newcomer Grace Ashcroft and a surprising third option - Alyssa Ashcroft from Resident Evil Outbreak.

The highly anticipated Resident Evil Requiem made its debut at Summer Game Fest in June, with its trailer showcasing a dramatic return to Raccoon City and introducing FBI agent Grace Ashcroft as the new protagonist. The game achieved an impressive milestone by surpassing one million wishlists shortly after its announcement, indicating strong fan anticipation for this next chapter in the iconic franchise.

Reliable Capcom leaker Dusk Golem recently hinted that Resident Evil Requiem will offer three playable characters, stating: "Leon & Grace. A little Alyssa, but that's really it." This revelation has sparked particular interest as Alyssa Ashcroft, who played a significant role in 2003's Resident Evil Outbreak, hasn't been featured prominently in the series for nearly two decades. The connection becomes more intriguing considering Grace Ashcroft is reportedly Alyssa's daughter, potentially setting up an emotional family reunion within the game's narrative.

While Leon Kennedy's involvement had been previously reported despite his absence from the initial trailer, Dusk Golem's latest claims reinforce this information. The leaker suggests Alyssa's playable sections would be relatively brief compared to Leon and Grace's roles, though fans should remember these details remain unconfirmed by Capcom at this stage.

Recent leaks have also provided glimpses into Resident Evil Requiem's gameplay mechanics, promising an intense survival horror experience. Currently scheduled for release on February 27, 2026, anticipation continues to build as Capcom prepares to ramp up its marketing campaign in the coming months.
