During the early hours, The Game Awards 2025 finally confirmed what many fans of the saga had been taking for granted for weeks: Resident Evil Requiem will be present at the show. The announcement came through the event’s official channels and from Geoff Keighley himself, making it clear that Capcom has something big in store for the December 12th event.

Although the game already has a release date set for February 2026 and several trailers have been published, its presence on a stage of this caliber suggests a significant reveal. The community has been pointing to the possibility of one of the series’ most iconic characters returning in this installment, fueling theories and debates for some time.

Capcom hasn’t detailed what they’ll be showing exactly, but the move makes sense: if the company wants to surprise before the launch, this is the perfect place. The return of Leon S. Kennedy is one of the possibilities that has gained the most traction on social media and forums, reinforced by rumors and leaks that have been circulating for months. Nothing is confirmed, but the anticipation is high.

The Japanese publisher has also dropped hints on several occasions that Requiem will feature familiar faces from the franchise, so it wouldn’t be surprising if the Game Awards trailer gives a glimpse of some of these characters or introduces new key figures to the story.

With the gala just days away, the saga is once again at the center of everyone’s attention. And if Capcom really wants to make an impact at this year’s awards, Geoff Keighley’s stage seems like the perfect moment to unveil what they’ve been preparing.
