Over 1,000 cut voice lines from Resident Evil 4 and Requiem reveal more about Leon Kennedy, the zombies he fights, and a lowkey bromance
We also got some hints to how later games are linked to Resident Evil 4.
Cut voice lines from the Resident Evil 4 remake and Resident Evil Requiem, discovered by community modder Keff0, reveal more about the beloved characters Leon Kennedy, Ashley, Luis, and the Merchant, shedding light on their personalities and the world they inhabit. Among the most fascinating cut lines is the Merchant's sneaky reference to Resident Evil Village, hinting at a connection between the two games.
Interestingly, the Merchant's voice lines also suggest he may have been more than just a shopkeeper, as unused animations show he could be killed by players during development. The cut voice lines for Requiem provide additional insight into the infected, including their ability to retain memories of their past lives and express emotions like pain and gratitude.
Though not all the cut lines made it into the final games due to space constraints, fans can still appreciate the potential richness they added to the story.
