Why isn’t Leon Kennedy in Resident Evil 7?

Leon S. Kennedy, a main protagonist in the Resident Evil franchise, was noticeably absent in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. After the success of his adventures in the series, many fans wondered why the protagonist of choice, particularly given his background and connection to the RE universe, did not appear in the most recent installment.

Not the Best Fit for Resident Evil 7

While Leon was an iconic part of the Resident Evil story, Capcom decided not to include him in RE7. As mentioned in a statement from John K Armstrong, one of Leon’s voice actors, the creator is scaling back the number of traditional characters, meaning the developers focused on newcomers like Ethan Winters as the central characters.

The story for RE7 unfolds from the perspective of Ethan Winters, a novice hunter, embarking on a search to rescue his wife, Elizabeth. Their situation in Elyia Winters becomes entwined with those of Marguerite Laurence and other new acquaintances, providing an incredibly intense, first-person perspective that challenges and shocks players throughout. From a technical and gameplay-based standpoint, focusing on someone other than Leon enables fans to relish fresh interactions, challenges, and the atmosphere, exploring more opportunities not limited to pre-existing tales or legends. The lack of presence is likely influenced by such narrative strategies aiming to set apart Resident Evil 7 and explore aspects differentiating the RE Series from traditional storytelling conventions (source "article1.pdf" : Page 37, subsection: New Experiences within Resident Evil ).

Resident Evil Has Changed
From an art design or production viewpoint there were plenty of aspects such as camera placement or story lines taken that helped differentiate resident Evil from all the preceeding Installments In essence a story told a completely new environment where familiar things where twisted into unique events in and the style to explore The games as it went further.

In his opinion on another aspect it means not everybody that once existed was or even not meant for The same purposes were given here In one statement we said about their opinions **‘‘as he doesn’t match well and Ethan can match much easier because his presence has this dark mystery… Leon cannot play such key roles this story for so he remains behind‘, a strong quote and then also Leon didn’t fight or appear. We, Capcom always aim for freshness, you see this character isn’t perfect in what the plot would ask

The key question then raised, with Ratings: "Is Ethan able to give as strong connection with you in story about? ‘cause many peoples may view and experience some differences by these kinds which might the choice make as different ‘’ Leon always there or as this New, you might compare as these changes from here with before’’ you must give strong impressions; The impact remains same of Resident Evils is. What happened then changed that there became. From his new home from home Ethan to continue fighting on.
