隨著2025年TGA頒獎典禮的腳步臨近，定檔於台灣時間12月12日早8點半亮相的《惡靈古堡9：安魂曲》成為了全網焦點。就在官方新預告片發布的前夕，在恐怖遊戲圈享有極高聲譽的資深內幕人士Dusk Golem（又名AestheticGamer）今日拋出重磅定心丸，以「百分之百」的肯定語氣實錘了系列人氣巔峰里昂·S·甘迺迪不僅會回歸，更將作為可操作的核心主角之一正式參戰。

在發布的千字長文中，Dusk Golem展現了罕見的強硬態度。他表示手中的情報並非零碎的傳聞拼湊，而是確鑿的事實。對於坊間關於里昂可能只是客串或NPC的猜測，他直言裡昂在本作中的地位舉足輕重，絕非像七代克里斯那樣僅僅是片尾的彩蛋。這一消息無疑讓擔心卡普空又要搞「無臉男」主角的粉絲們鬆了一口氣，畢竟只要有「分頭」在，這遊戲的銷量底盤就穩了一半。
(2/3) that there's things I'm less certain of. But Leon isn't one of them, he is a main character in RE9, and he 100% is playable. I in some ways regret sharing that, because that's taken up so much discourse. And I don't know Capcom's marketing plans, I never expected this level
(4/4) poured a lot of love into creating, & many will come to love her in RE9. And I don't think she'll be overshadowed by Leon, they'll co-star together. I pretty much know we're seeing Leon this week, but I won't gloat about it. Just a point of many points of RE9 to talk about
The Rose rumor comes from GameStop, it's worth talking about I'd argue. But I do believe it's fishy and it reeks of potential AI or something. But hey, I do think it's a rumor mill point worth discussing.
(1/3) I'm 100% sure about Leon being in Resident Evil Requiem. The thing people need to realize is I'm not working with a fragment of info on this, I can very concretely without a shadow of a doubt say he's a playable character in RE9. I don't know the full scope of RE9, & in
值得注意的是，Dusk Golem在爆料中流露出一絲懊悔。他提到除了里昂，開發團隊傾注大量心血打造的新女主格蕾絲·阿什克羅夫特（Grace Ashcroft）同樣值得關注，兩人將構成雙主角敘事體系。他擔心過早確認里昂的回歸，會掩蓋這位新人的光芒。這也從側面印證了卡普空此次空前的保密級別，官方似乎試圖營造一種神秘感，結果被「舅舅黨」提前劇透。考慮到「薪水高」已經年過半百還要在一線打殭屍，不少玩家調侃卡普空真是把勞模精神壓榨到了極致。無論如何，隨著TGA的臨近，這一爆料的真實性即將得到官方驗證，我們只需靜待本周四的那聲熟悉的槍響。
