在劇情設定里，里昂接到一份奇特任務，來到奇幻大陸維爾蒙德，協助覺醒者屠龍。在這個沒有槍械的魔法世界，里昂還玩梗給自己取了古風長名 「列奧尼達斯・史考特森・肯辛頓三世」。官方放出的預告短片中，里昂配音演員也出鏡，和隆、魯迪互動調侃，反差感拉滿。
Toy Leon, reporting in. Looks like I'm headed to a world with swords, spells, arrows...and no guns. I better blend in while I'm here, and talk like the locals do. Call me "Leonidas Scottson Kensington the Third." Or, something like that. Tag along with me on this mission. I could use some backup. https://twitter.com/RE_Games/status/2110091053915422893
《龍族教義2》的隨從就是可招募AI隊友。這批限定聯動隨從，10級及以下玩家能免費僱傭，名字帶有特殊顏色標識。隨從裝備不可更改，不計入遊戲排行榜。同時，玩家想要解鎖該DLC與聯動角色，需花費29.99美元購買擴展包。
