Resident Evil 4 Remake, a recreation of the 2005 game from the ground up, has been formally revealed by Capcom. The release date for the future game has been confirmed for March 24, 2023, along with the brand-new trailer. The 2005 original is still considered one of the most highly praised video games of all time, and fans have been waiting for confirmation of the remake for years. It’s unclear whether the game will be able to match the original GameCube release, but given how well the Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 remakes were received, Resident Evil 4 looks like a safe bet.
The announcement was made at Sony’s State of Play conference, and it detailed what players may anticipate from the remake. The new teaser provides players their first look at the impending remake, including much of what fans remember from the original title, which has become one of the most influential games of all time in the years following its release. The trailer featured several of the original game’s protagonists, such as Leon S. Kennedy and Ashley Graham, as well as many of the game’s classic locations, such as the famed village that many players battled their way through in the first game. After being published for Oculus in October 2021, the game will be compatible with the PlayStation VR2, joining the original game in VR.
Returning to Leon S. Kennedy’s footsteps, this time as a far more experienced survivor than we saw in Resident Evil 2. The plot follows Leon as he infiltrates a Spanish village in search of Ashley, the President’s daughter who has been kidnapped previously. During his travels, he discovers that the town has been taken over by a violent cult, and that the residents have been afflicted with Las Plagas. Leon meets a diverse cast of characters, including allies, rivals, and returning faces with their own agendas, as well as a variety of hideous beasts.
The first indication of a Resident Evil 4 remake came in the form of a data breach from Capcom in 2020, yet the company has kept silent about the project’s existence until now. This news follows Capcom’s recent remakes of Resident Evil 2 Remake and Resident Evil 3 Remake, both of which were released in 2019.
