Resident Evil Requiem is getting its own dedicated amiibo tied to series mainstay Leon S. Kennedy. Confirmed via Nintendo's official Japan release information, the Leon S. Kennedy amiibo releases July 30, 2026 at 3,080 JPY, roughly $19.75 USD at current exchange rates.
This is a confirmed release with an already-set date, though some pricing details are still pending, so here's what's included.
Nintendo's official release information confirms the following:
Since only Japan pricing has been confirmed so far, collectors outside Japan should treat the $19.75 USD figure as a rough conversion estimate rather than a confirmed western retail price, since amiibo pricing frequently varies by region once official western listings go live. Preordering based on the Japan price alone risks over- or under-budgeting once local pricing is confirmed.
Nintendo's amiibo-linked unlocks for Resident Evil titles have historically provided cosmetic weapon or costume variants rather than gameplay-altering content, and this Leon-specific unlock is expected to follow that same pattern based on Capcom's prior amiibo integration approach. Collectors buying primarily for the in-game bonus rather than as a display piece should expect a cosmetic reward rather than a functional gameplay advantage.
For a figure collectors are likely to display alongside other Resident Evil releases, EVORETRO's acrylic display risers add tiered shelf space as the series' amiibo lineup grows.
For safely shipping or storing a boxed amiibo before opening it for the in-game unlock, EVORETRO's poly bubble mailers keep the packaging protected in transit.
Capcom has steadily expanded amiibo integration across recent Resident Evil titles, with Requiem's Leon figure following a similar approach to other franchise-specific amiibo like Grace Ashcroft, giving the series a growing dedicated lineup rather than a single one-off collectible. Collectors building a full Resident Evil amiibo shelf should expect additional character-specific figures to follow as Requiem's post-launch support continues.
With western pricing still unannounced, the most reliable next step for collectors outside Japan is watching for an official Nintendo or Capcom pricing update rather than relying on the current yen conversion, since actual western MSRP could land above or below that estimate once announced.

Having risers and proper shipping protection ready keeps the figure displayed and packaging protected either way.
