Resident Evil 4 remake is coming, and we should play it next spring…
After speculations that it was developing a remake of Resident Evil 4, Capcom has finally confirmed that it is actually engaged on a remake of the cult classic. The news was revealed during Sony’s PlayStation’s State of Play conference on June 8, when we also saw the first video, which provided us a glance at the famous sequence and what Leon S. Kennedy appears like in Capcom’s RE Engine.
On the PlayStation blog, Capcom stated that their intent is to make the game familiar to series fans while also giving it a fresh flavor. According to them, this is accomplished by re-imagining the game’s story while preserving the game’s overall direction, upgrading the graphics, and bringing the controls up to date.
For March 24, 2023, the Resident Evil 4 remake will be released on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Capcom has also confirmed that the game will contain extra features for the PlayStation VR2, which will be revealed in the nearish term. Capcom also showcased the PlayStation VR2 version of Resident Evil Village during the State of Play conference. Unfortunately, no publication date has been set for Sony’s PSVR2, and no timetable has been set for the VR version of Resident Evil Village.
Resident Evil 4 Remake: Everything We Know So Far
The existence of a Resident Evil 4 remake has officially been confirmed, but what exactly do we know about Capcom’s plans? Here is everything we know about the upcoming game thus far.
One of the most well-known installments in the Resident Evil series is Resident Evil 4. It not only gave a new lease on life to an ailing series, but it also changed the third-person action-adventure genre (who knows, maybe this game will enhance the interest of eSports organizations to start promoting it in this industry of which the betting industry, such online betting sites in Mauritius or elsewhere would benefit too). There is a reason why the game has been ported to almost every platform since its first release. In fact, some admirers say that it does not need to be remade at all.
When played on modern platforms, the original Resident Evil 4 holds up well, and the argument that a remake is unnecessary and Capcom should perhaps concentrate on Dino Crisis or Code Veronica has some merit. Given Resident Evil 4’s popularity and commercial success, getting it back into the picture for next-gen consoles is an intriguing concept.
Let’s take a look at what we know about the Resident Evil 4 remake after Resident Evil Village won Game of the Year in 2021.
The Release Date for the Resident Evil 4 Remake Has Been Set
The remake will be launched on March 24, 2023, according to the studio, as confirmed in the release video shown at the PlayStation State of Play, so it will be a while yet.
The remake will keep loyal to Leon’s storyline while giving just enough room for new and returning players to get a feel for the game. Capcom has made a point of sticking to the survival horror elements that made the first game so popular.
RE 4 Remake Platforms
PlayStation 5, Xbox One X|S, and PC via Steam is where Resident Evil 4 will be released. That means it will not be available on PS4 or Xbox One.
New content for PS VR2 is also in the pipeline for scary levels of immersion. It is yet unclear what this will entail. Whether it is the entire game or just a portion of it, we are confident it will be the most terrifying way to experience RE4.
Remake of Resident Evil 4 Rumors That Circulate Around
According to DuskGolem, a prominent Resident Evil insider, since 2018, the remake of Resident Evil 4 has been in the progress. DuskGolem is usually accurate when it comes to all topics in relation to Resident Evil, so it is clear why so many enthusiasts trust him.
As per DuskGolem, the remake will be different from the original and will take place in a semi-open setting. He reportedly mentioned that the game’s trader and cutting machine antagonist will play a bigger part. The Duke may have made a reference to his Resident Evil 4 counterpart in Resident Evil Village. Is it possible that this is not merely an instance of fan service?
A stalker role might also be played by Doctor Salvador or the chainsaw Ganado, as represented in the official photo. A recent trailer, on the other hand, hints that Chief Mendez could be recruited under this role. This would be a terrific and terrifying way to reintroduce the character to Nemesis, Lady Dimitrescu, and Mr. X. A comprehensive breakdown of these revelations can be seen on Reddit.
Components for a Resident Evil 4 remake leaked onto the Internet during the massive Capcom leak last year. Images of the village from the beginning of the game were among them. However, after being pounced on by Capcom, these appear to have been removed. Given how the images were obtained, this is understandable, but it is nonetheless confirmation of the game’s actuality.
The Cast of RE 4 Remake
Comparable to the pattern of how she became the cover for Jill Valentine in the remake of ’Resi 3’, and we are talking about the Russian model Sasha Zotova, we assume the same thing occurs with Ashley Graham in the Resident Evil 4 remake.
Ella Freya, a Dutch model, revealed her involvement in the ‘Resi 4’ remake project shortly after it was announced, posting a photo of Ashley Graham to infer her position. For the time being, Ella is the only confirmed cast member, but we are sure more information will emerge as time goes on. If the trailer is any indication, Leon and Ada’s voice actors will also be returning, with Leon reprising his performance in the trailer.
