DSO officer and iconic agent Leon Kennedy is one of the protagonists of Resident Evil Requiem, fighting alongside FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft as they take down Victor Gideon and his evil posse. However, a recent viral rumor based on content from the game suggests that the fan favorite Leon could be married or engaged. This has left many fans excited and wondering who the lucky lady could be.

Here’s a deep dive into the viral rumor about Leon being married in Resident Evil Requiem.

Resident Evil Requiem image hints at Leon’s possible marriage, sparking rumors

Leon Kennedy is one of the main characters of Resident Evil Requiem, alongside FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft. Leon has been a part of the franchise across multiple titles, rising from the ranks of a fresh rookie to a towering force that can wipe out entire hordes alone. However, a recent image within the game has stirred the rumor mill, hinting at Leon’s possible new engagement or marriage.

The special content section of Resident Evil Requiem offers players a variety of bonus items, including models and concept art from the game’s development. Inside that, players noticed a rather striking detail that left gamers stunned. Leon’s concept art might seem normal at first, but when people zoomed in on his hands, they noticed a ring on one of the fingers.

The image of the hands in the concept art shows Leon wearing a ring on his ring finger. This little detail left has stunned, suggesting that the longtime heartthrob and fan-favorite character might finally be hitched. So, it comes as no surprise that most are wondering who the lucky lady is.

Of course, the first candidate any longtime fan would have in mind is Ada Wong. Players are well-aware of the long cat-and-mouse game between the duo, with subtle flirty exchanges between the two. While it was never officially confirmed, gamers have seen multiple instances that confirm Ada went out of her way to protect or look out for Kennedy.

It is also worth mentioning that a charm in Resident Evil Requiem was based on a bear, which looked eerily similar to the bear attached to the keys that Wong had tossed to Leon before flying away on her chopper. However, there has been no update on Ada Wong since her last appearance in Resident Evil 6 in the game and in the 2012 film.

So, players are skeptical about the fact that there has been no mention of her existence in fourteen years, which is a pretty long time. This led fans to spot a second important detail: a similar ring was on Sherry Birkin’s hand. This led to another branch of speculations, suggesting that Leon could be married to Sherry, whom he had rescued in Resident Evil 2.

However, some fans pointed out that the ring was not on the ring finger. While some gamers suggested that it was due to necrosis on her other fingers, others stated that it meant that she was not married to Leon. Many also suggested that it is not probable since Leon met her when she was 12. The ensuing speculations have fanned the flames, creating more questions than answers.

Gamers will have to wait and see if Capcom releases a DLC that clarifies this nugget of information or leaves it as one of the many mysteries in the timeline of Resident Evil.
