Originally released in 2005 for the Nintendo GameCube, Capcom’s Resident Evil 4 was a major shift for the series and ushered in a new era of survival horror, and now it’s back. Resident Evil 4 Remake kicked off today’s PlayStation State of Play with a bang. Much like 2018’s remake of Resident Evil 2 and 2020’s remake of Resident Evil 3, the game has a fresh look thanks to Capcom’s proprietary RE Engine and will likely include many quality-of-life updates.
This remake promises to appeal to newcomers and established fans alike. Resident Evil 4 takes place six years after the Raccoon City Incident events that make up the first three games. Players take on the role of Leon Kennedy, the star of Resident Evil 2, who has been tasked with saving the President’s daughter, Ashley, from an unknown group of kidnappers. The true nightmare unfolds after Leon tracks Ashley to a remote village in rural Spain.
Resident Evil 4 Remake is set to release on March 24, 2023, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
