You can see what looks to be a wedding ring on his finger in a couple of Resident Evil Requiem’s cutscenes, and can take a good look at it in the concept art if you’re an eagle-eyed gamer. My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.But this discovery now raises a bigger, more sinister question: who is Leon Kennedy married to?

Oh, and they kissed that one time.On the other side of the ring, Team Claire generally thinks Ada and Leon’s relationship is a bit toxic and that Claire is a better match for Leon, as she’s kinder and matches Leon’s sense of justice. Also: “If Leon is indeed married to Claire, this would explain why Leon was extra chummy about Chris when Sherry asked for his whereabouts towards the end of Resident Evil: Requiem.”Will Capcom reveal it? from r/ResidentEvilRequiemThere’s also a pretty big third contingent who all think Leon is married to them: “I don’t like how y’all are talking about Leon being married to other women when
