With the expectations of fans, the latest sequel to Capcom’s classic horror survival series “Requiem for the Dead” was finally officially launched on February 27, and received extremely high praise from the media and players. It also set a record of 340,000 people online at the same time on the Steam platform, directly reaching twice the highest number of 160,000 people for “The Resident Evil 4 Remastered Edition”, successfully setting a new record for the series. In addition, fans have gradually noticed some small details worth discussing from the cutscenes.
In addition, the super-popular character “Leon S. Kennedy” who has made a glorious return in this latest sequel is of course the biggest highlight of this game. After players have successively broken through this game, some small details about this character have gradually triggered heated discussions among fans. According to fans, Capcom accidentally showed Leon’s mobile phone number in this game, and also hinted in the art settings that this hero who has been fighting bioterrorism incidents for most of his life may have become a husband.
In a cutscene at the end of “Castle of Evil: Requiem”, Grace, the other protagonist of the game, received a call from Leon, and in this clip, the phone number that can be seen on her phone is: 266-555-0173.
When more and more players noticed this detail, many people actually tried to call this number, hoping to trigger some kind of easter egg and surprise. However, unfortunately, after the actual broadcast, they would only receive an “unable to dial” error message, implying that this number was not really usable. Many game companies have used similar marketing methods before, but Capcom seems to have no such plans this time.
In addition to the mobile phone number, many fans also discovered another little surprise related to Leon in “Castle of Evil: Requiem”. In many cutscenes, fans noticed that Leon already had a ring on his ring finger, and this detail can also be clearly seen in the official art included in the game.
Although the plot of this game does not give any explanation for this, many fans speculate that this small detail implies that the battle-hardened Leon may have already married and started a family, but he had to return to the world because of a virus infection, taking up the story in “The Castle of Evil: Requiem” this time. As for who did he marry? This has also become one of the hottest topics among fans recently.
One of the targets with the most fan support is of course the mysterious female spy King Ada, who has developed a complicated relationship with Leon in many games, or Claire Redfield, who fought alongside him in “Castle 2”. Ashley Graham, the president’s daughter whom he rescued in “Castle 4”, has also become another popular candidate. Of course, it may also be a new character that has never appeared before.
As for whether Capcom plans to disclose the answer, follow-up news is still awaited. According to the latest rumors recently revealed by a well-known “Requiem” series whistleblower, the DLC of “Requiem” has officially entered the later stage of development, and players will play Leon again in this expanded content. By then, fans may have the opportunity to learn the truth behind the ring, and even see Mrs. Kennedy’s appearance.
