With Capcom having already confirmed Requiem isn’t part of its upcoming Tokyo Game Show broadcast, it’s thought that the reveal could be included in the (also unconfirmed) State of Play, which is supposedly taking place in the coming days.

Now, obviously this is all top-tier rumourmill stuff, but there’s no smoke without a fire, and stranger things have definitely happened. It’s very possible there’s some merit to all this, but we can’t know one way or the other.
So, Leon fans all turn their attention to next week, when Tokyo Game Show kicks off and Sony will (maybe?) have a presentation for us.
