After several major leaks and heavy speculation regarding one of the franchise's most beloved characters returning to Resident Evil Requiem, The Game Awards finally unveiled what we've all been waiting for. Despite several discouraging statements from Capcom about the prospect, Leon is finally making his return in Resident Evil Requiem, and the reaction to the news has been understandably huge.
While it's hard to go anywhere near a horror or Resident Evil forum without seeing someone talk about the announcement, Reddit users like laxusdreyarligh were quick to share the news online.
With the trailer showcasing that Leon will play a major role in not just the gameplay of Requiem but even its storyline, it's easy to see why fans are so excited about the not-so-surprising turn of events.

Leon's playstyle appears to be the complete opposite of Grace's, with a showcase of him spin-kicking zombies and chainsawing enemies in half after spitting out a few new one-liners. Reddit user DoctahDonkey summarized the trailer pretty well with a simple "we're so back."...
