Porsche\u2019s Resident Evil Requiem collaboration has taken a turn, after fans reacted to the reveal trailer by joking that Leon S. Kennedy would destroy the Cayenne Turbo GT before the game even ends. Now, Porsche has issued the perfect response.<\/p>\n
Leon returns in Resident Evil Requiem with a custom Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT, with Nick Apostolides reprising his role. The trailer put Leon behind the wheel of the SUV, tying Porsche\u2019s performance identity to one of gaming\u2019s most recognizable survival horror characters.<\/p>\n

Porsche says \u201cWe trust Leon\u201d<\/p>\n
