What are people’s predictions for this 'special video' next week to commemorate the 30th anniversary? Leon reveal finally? Feels like it’s now or never.

Didn't they already say there will be no new footage of Requiem?

No new gameplay.

I think that Geoff Keighley has the Leon reveal for the Game Awards. Like a 2 part promotional deal, reveal Grace and some horror oriented gameplay at Summer Game Fest then at Game Awards reveal Leon and some action oriented gameplay.

As for the video I think it's just going to be a collage of previous games:

You know, at this point, I almost hope Leon IS a major playable character in the game, just so I can delete my account, move on with my life, and let other people attempt to be series gurus. XD

This just in, Dusk’s source was Geoff Keighley the whole time

I do find their wording peculiar. They said no new gameplay would be shown in the special video dropping on the 29th, not new footage. It doesn’t rule out a new cinematic trailer for Requiem, which is exactly what the reveal trailer was. It didn’t show any actual gameplay, it was all cutscenes.

I find it hard to believe they won’t show anything new for the game the day the pre-orders literally drop especially with how little they’ve shown of the game in any fashion up to this point.

I’ve just stumbled upon an interview from August, I totally missed this. I’d seen video interviews of them talking about going on a journey with Grace, but this is the first i’m seeing them say the entire game is about her/based around her.

Quote in question (from producer) when asked if Grace is playable for the whole game:

We're not going through all the gameplay details or how it works yet, but the entire game is based around Grace and her journey. You're going to join Grace on her journey and see how she starts from the terrifying beginning of the storyline and what kind of journey she goes on. So, she's the basis of the entire game.

To me, that does not confirm Grace is the only playable character, but it does tell me she is the main protagonist and playable character for the majority of the game, just like Ethan for 7/8.

It goes against everything Dusk is saying about Leon.

It could be that Leon helps her investigate the mystery, so it's about what she is doing. If he is playable I hope it's more than the cameo Chris got in Village.
You can see at the end of the Demo when Grace is about to escape she get's grabbed and dragged back into the corridor, that could be where another character steps in and helps her. Then from there they work together.

It’s interesting because normally this sorta language would be taken at face value. In my opinion and interpretation based on that interview, along with just the way the game’s been presented so far, then if Dusk is telling the truth there is only one conclusion: Capcom are lying.

The quote you listed from the article begins by saying "We're not going through all the gameplay details or how it works yet", so they are prefacing what they say next with we are not telling you everything. I'm sure it is Grace's story but that doesn't mean Grace is the only main character.

Dusk was clearly wrong about playing more as Leon than Grace, but he is sticking to his guns that Leon is a main playable character. If Leon is anything less than a main playable character Dusk will have really discredited himself. What I want is to be able to play as a classic character again, so I am really hoping it's true but I would be just as happy if it was another classic character.
