Overview
- On June 29, Kamiya posted a joking but detailed concept on X imagining retired Leon Kennedy fishing, gardening, baking, walking a dog, and hosting barbecues in the countryside.
- The post rapidly gained traction online, attracting more than 1.7 million views and thousands of likes and replies that urged the idea to become a real game.
- Kamiya followed up by directly asking Capcom to consider making a 'Biohazard that's not scary,' while media coverage emphasized the pitch is an informal suggestion not an announced project.
- Kamiya’s history as director of Resident Evil 2 and his admitted dislike of horror help explain the tone of the pitch and his earlier calls this year for a 'non‑scary' mode in Resident Evil Requiem.
- Observers note the booming market for cozy life‑sims and Capcom’s active slate of remakes, but the company has made no official move into farming or life‑sim games so fans should view this as a fan‑driven idea rather than a confirmed development.
