The US government has a pretty weird job for Leon this time: instead of venturing to a Spanish village in search of the president's daughter, Leon Kennedy is now en route to Vermund to help the Arisen slay a great dragon in a bizarre new Dragon's Dogma 2 collaboration with Resident Evil, Street Fighter, and Monster Hunter.
"Toy Leon, reporting in," reads an official post from the Resident Evil socials. "Looks like I'm headed to a world with swords, spells, arrows... and no guns. I better blend in while I'm here, and talk like the locals do. Call me 'Leonidas Scottson Kensington the Third.' Or, something like that. Tag along with me on this mission. I could use some backup."
If you're not brushed up on the game, pawns are basically in-game companions who you can recruit, meaning that you can now fight your way through Vermund with Condor One.
This new crossover even comes with a brief teaser in which Nick Apostolides banters as Leon with Ryu and Rudy about their new pawns. "Huh, is that me?" Leon asks. "Where hast thou absconded to?"
It's an especially odd mix of Capcom properties, given that Leon is usually busy...
