Resident Evil cosplayer uncovers Raccoon City secrets as Leon Kennedy Instagram: plutonia_cosplay, CapcomWith Resident Evil finally getting an animated Netflix series, Infinite Darkness, one cosplayer has celebrated in style by creating a Leon Kennedy cosplay inspired by the RE:2 remake. Resident Evil has exploded back into the gaming hall of fame with the series\u2019 latest installment, Village. With Lady Dimitrescu becoming an overnight sensation and the game\u2019s lycans terrifying players all across the globe, 2021 marks a triumphant return for the Capcom title. Not only has the game entertained fans, it\u2019s inspired a flourishing cosplay scene. From the bloodthirsty Bela to the world\u2019s tallest supermodel masquerading as the vampire queen herself, Village-based cosplays have taken the world by storm. Harkening back to the early days, though, is plutonia_cosplay\u2018s stunning Resident Evil 2 cosplay, and it has dropped just in time to celebrate the new animated Netflix series, Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness. This Leon cosplay is the perfect zombie apocalypse outfit The brainchild of French Canadian cosplayer, plutonia_cosplay, this spectacular Leon cosplay looks as though he\u2019s walked straight out of the ashes of the infection-ridden Racoon City. While he describes the cosplay as \u201cfairly easy to make,\u201d he told Dexerto that difficulties started to pop up while trying to secure character-specific items. \u201cMost of the effort was put into sewing the patches on the shirt and the vest and finding specific items to purchase, like Leon\u2019s signature Mathilda VP-70 pistol and the police belt with all the various pouches.\u201d What\u2019s wild, though, is the fact that plutonia is so dedicated that he grew out his hair in order to truly transform himself into Leon. Yes, you read that right, no wigs were harmed in the creation of this cosplay! \u201cThe costume building process began in November of 2019, and was finished in February of 2020. I just needed my hair to grow long enough to get it cut into Leon\u2019s iconic undercut hairstyle, but unfortunately, global restrictions were put in place and I had to wait until June to finally get a haircut!\u201d View this post on Instagram Why did Plutonia choose Resident Evil\u2019s Leon? Leon has become quite the icon in the digital sphere, and he\u2019s clearly had quite the impact on plutonia himself. \u201cWhen I was younger, I kept on seeing ads for the Resident Evil movies with Milla Jovovich and I kept on hearing that they were awful and that they were not faithful to the source material. So I was always curious to check out the titles but I couldn\u2019t play the games because I only had an original Xbox at the time,\u201d he told Dexerto. \u201cFast forward to 2016, after seeing the reveal trailer for RE7 at Sony\u2019s E3 conference, I decided to purchase all the games and play through them all before the release of RE7. I enjoyed the franchise and the characters so much that I wanted to try out cosplaying as them!\u201d Letting his creativity run wild, he\u2019s created a staggering 15 cosplays in total! View this post on Instagram And it won\u2019t stop there. The future looks bright for fans of insane Resident Evil cosplays, because plutonia has a lot more up his sleeve. Writing that \u201cthe reactions [to the cosplay] so far have been pretty good,\u201d he teased that \u201canother Leon costume from RE4 and a Chris Redfield costume from RE Village\u201d are on the horizon. It doesn\u2019t stop there, though, as he\u2019s \u201calso working on two more secret RE costumes\u201d that he\u2019ll reveal to the public soon. As we channel our inner Leon to try and work out which character he plans to bring to life next, be sure check out his terrifyingly tantalizing work on Twitter and Instagram!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
