Many fans consider Leon Kennedy’s appearance in Resident Evil Requiem to be unrealistic.

While significant effort was invested in crafting a mature version of Leon Kennedy for Resident Evil Requiem, portraying him as no longer young, some players argue that this depiction is more ‘stylized’ than genuinely realistic. They suggest a more grounded take on the character would differ significantly.

One gamer took it upon themselves to imagine a ‘correct’ or ‘realistic’ Leon, proposing that in Resident Evil Requiem, he should have been bald:

According to some discussion participants, “If you’re handsome, you’ll still be attractive even bald.” This particular iteration of Leon drew comparisons to Cain, a villain from the ‘RoboCop’ franchise.

Interestingly, a completely different version of Leon also emerged when another player in Resident Evil Requiem stumbled upon a glitch that unexpectedly gave the character a ‘luxurious head of hair’.
