Lmao does anybody here actually buy that Leon isn't in the game?
For one, they didn't actually ever confirm that he isn't playable. They just spoke around it and stated he doesn't work with horror. He does, however, work with the "overcoming your fears" part of their goals. IMO it makes sense that Grace will have the pure horror sections while Leon has the more action focused campaign. She'll introduce and escape threats, he'll actually end them. Otherwise, there was no reason to specifically mention Leon.
Second, they've already confirmed that there's a second playable legacy character who has an arsenal of weapons. That already flies in the face of any thought to the contrary. If anything, their "We wanted Leon as protag" comment basically confirms who that second character is, because it doesn't make sense to say you can't use Leon because he's too capable, and then feature Chris or Jill instead when they're functionally the same as the protagonist you actually want to use.
Third, they've shown they aren't above a bit of trolling and misdirection with comments with the way they handled the original reveal. IMO this is just that.
