The Resident Evil: Reqiuem Leon S. Kennedy Amiibo Is Real and on the Way This Summer
Capcom confirms the long-rumored Leon S. Kennedy amiibo releasing this summer alongside Grace Ashcroft, following its reveal at a Nintendo Partner Direct event.
- During Nintendo's Partner Direct, Capcom confirmed the long‑rumored Leon S. Kennedy amiibo will arrive this summer.

- The game is scheduled for February 27, 2026, alongside Gold Editions of Resident Evils 7 and 8 and a special Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller.

- Recent commentary shaped expectations as the game's director called open‑world speculation `dead wrong`, while IGN's Rebekah Valentine offered catch‑up coverage of the Nintendo Partner Direct.
