For their modern recreation, Capcom's designers set out to capture the classic look and feel that made them so memorable in the original game.\n\nA rookie police officer who went on to become one of the series' most beloved and iconic characters, Leon Kennedy made his debut all the way back in 1998 with the original release of Resident Evil 2 on PlayStation.\n\nPragmatic and unflappable, Leon became an instant fan favourite with his underdog charm and signature hair-cut, returning as the lead protagonist in two further games.\n\nOn the hunt for her missing brother - Resident Evil protagonist Chris Redfield - college student Claire finds herself stranded in Raccoon City as hordes of the undead begin to overrun the streets. \n\nCompassionate and witty, Claire was the key character link between the first and second games and remained a series mainstay for decades to come following her initial debut.\n\nA lone survivor wandering the streets of Raccoon City, Ada is certainly not all she seems. Purposeful, but seemingly hiding her true intentions, Leon is forced to trust her as he explores the decimated streets.\n\nEnigmatic and determined, Ada's anti-hero stylings have made her a firm favourite among series fans, returning as a playable character in later games alongside Leon and Chris.\n\nDaughter of Umbrella researchers William and Annette Birkin, Sherry finds herself trapped in Raccoon City Police Department following a panicked phonecall from her mother. Alone and unarmed, she joins Claire Redfield in a bid to track down her missing parents.\n\nA more crucial character than she may at first appear, Sherry re-appears later on in the series as a federal agent with some unusual supernatural talents.
