Resident Evil 2 Director Wants Leon to Return for a Cozy Game About His Retirement — And It Sounds Very Different to Resident Evil Requiem

Legendary crippled manager Hideki Kamiya has described his imaginativeness for a cosy Resident Evil sequel starring Leon S. Kennedy successful his retirement, successful what would beryllium a bold caller absorption for the endurance fearfulness franchise.

Kamiya, who directed Leon's instauration to the bid successful Resident Evil 2, precocious made headlines erstwhile helium was filmed jokingly suggesting that determination should beryllium a "non-scary mode" for Resident Evil Requiem, wherever helium could conscionable bask the series' puzzles.

Now, Kamiya appears to person thought much astir this thought — arsenic helium has pitched a distinctly non-scary sounding Resident Evil sequel connected societal media. Responding to a instrumentality who asked if Kamiya could 1 time make a caller Resident Evil crippled that tied up the storylines of Leon and Claire Redfield, Kamiya suggested a conception that saw Leon enjoying his second years with nary zombies successful sight.

Rather than harpooning mutant crocodiles, Leon would present walk his clip softly sportfishing for his dinner. Rather than uncovering Regenerators successful the freezer, helium would present hole location appliances for his aged neighbours. And arsenic for zombie canines? The lone canine he'd spot would beryllium his loyal favored hound.

"If I made it, it'd crook into a crippled wherever retired Leon goes sportfishing successful the countryside," Kamiya said of his cozy sequel idea, via a station connected X/Twitter.

"Forages for chaotic veggies, bakes bread, walks the dog, tends a location garden, drives 50 km to the wide store for supplies, invites aged buddies implicit for a barbecue, fixes the neighbour grandma's oven astatine her request, sells homemade lemonade astatine the section festival... but that'd beryllium cool, right...?"
