Resident Evil: Every Leon Kennedy Appearance
Leon S. Kennedy is famous for a lot more than just his roundhouse kicks. He’s a main character in the Resident Evil games, and he’s in a lot of them.
Resident Evil players have been able to see Leon Kennedy grow over the years. When he first appeared in Resident Evil 2, he wasn’t always very confident. This was partly because he was a new cop thrown into a zombie apocalypse. But since then, he has shown that he is the cool secret agent that fans know and love.
A lot of Resident Evil fans fell in love with Leon because he was real and easy to relate to. Since then, he’s been in a few more games in the Resident Evil series and has quickly become one of the most important and recognizable characters. But that makes me wonder how many and what kinds of Resident Evil games Leon Kennedy is in for Capcom.
Resident Evil 2 (1998/2020)
Leon S. Kennedy is one of the main characters in Resident Evil 2, both in the 1998 original and in the Resident Evil 2 Remake. He starts out as a rookie cop, and one of the game’s two campaigns is about his first day on the job and his investigation into strange things happening in Raccoon City.
Both stories have their own special parts. If the player chooses Leon’s story, they can use the shotgun and flamethrower, and the overall campaign is a little bit easier.
Resident Evil 4 (2005/2023)
After the scary things that happened in Resident Evil 2, Leon was hired by the U.S. government and taught as a special agent because he was so good at staying alive and fighting. It’s important to note, though, that some people think Leon took the job because he was threatened with Sherry’s safety if he didn’t.
In Resident Evil 4, the main character, Leon S. Kennedy, a newly hired special agent, is on a quest to save Ashley Graham, the daughter of the US president, from a religious cult that has her in rural Spain. Leon is unaware that these followers have the Las Plagas virus, which takes over the human brain and makes a person seem like a puppet.
Darkside Chronicles (2009)
Darkside Chronicles was a bit of a change from the other games in the Resident Evil series. Mostly because it was an on-rails shooter.
Once again, Leon is one of the game’s main characters, along with Jack Krauser. The story follows the two as they try to find out the truth about the T-Virus. The story basically tells what happened in Resident Evil 2 and CODE: Veronica. But this time from Leon’s point of view and in a lot more detail.
Operation Raccoon City (2012)
Operation Raccoon City is a third-person shooter that takes place during Resident Evil 3. But it is not an official part of the series.
This time, Leon is not the main character. Instead, he is a side character that the player can choose to kill or save. He is also a possible character in Heroes Mode, which is a competitive team-based game mode where players choose to play one of several characters from previous games, each with their own unique set of skills.
Resident Evil 6 (2012)
Resident Evil 6 is set 10 years after Raccoon City was destroyed. It has 4 interconnected stories that take place in different places around the world. Leon Kennedy is one of the main characters in Drive Mad.
Leon’s story starts when a bioterrorism attack hits the place he’s at, spreading the C-Virus to many of the people there, including the president, who is Leon’s best friend. In his zombie-like state, the president tries to attack one of his own Secret Service agents, Helena. Leon is then forced to make the heartbreaking choice to kill him. Here, the two must leave the zombie-filled town and go to a church, saving other people along the way.
Revelations 2 (2015)
Leon Kennedy isn’t a part of Resident Evil: Revelations 2‘s main story. Instead, he’s in the minigame “raid mode,” in which players fight through short rounds to find a coin.
By getting these coins, the player will be able to change and improve their characters and tools. When a player gets 20 or more completion medallions, Leon is revealed.
Re:Verse (2022)
In the third-person multiplayer game Resident Evil: Re:Verse, you can play as Leon Kennedy and a few other well-known Resident Evil characters. In this game, two to six players fight in a “deathmatch,” and the winner is the one with the most RP at the end.
When the player picks Leon, they will be given both a pistol and a shotgun. Leon’s signature move is a roundhouse kick that can knock people down. When his health is low, he can also quickly heal himself. He can also use two pistols at the same time for a set amount of time. Which makes his fire rate and magazine size go up.
