During the Resident Evil Requiem Showcase last month, Capcom announced that Grace Ashcroft and Leon S. Kennedy would both receive amiibo. Now, during today’s Nintendo Direct, we got our first look at them.
These figures for Grace and Leon mark the first time Resident Evil has announced amiibo. That said, they won’t arrive the same time as Requiem. Requiem will come out on the 27th, which coincides with the release of a branded Switch 2 Pro Controller. The amiibo will arrive later, debuting during the summer.
And what will these amiibo do for you? Scanning them in will grant unique weapon skins for use in-game. While we don’t know what Grace’s weapon skin will look like, Leon’s grants a neon blue-and-red coat to his revolver. It’s quite bright and showy, but then again, Leon’s sections are the most exuberant. When we last went hands-on with Requiem, we found his sections to be gloriously over-the-top....
