Rad on to learn everything we know about the Resident Evil 4 remake.Release date
The remake of Resident Evil 4 is gearing up to launch March 24, 2023.Developer
Capcom — specifically, Development Division 1 — is leading the charge on this project. This remake has reportedly been in the works since 2018, and was initially being developed by M-Two, a “Capcom-backed” studio that eventually was taken off the project. Resident Evil 4 remake was then brought in-house, likely to ensure the highest level of quality. This information wasn’t publicly announced, but numerous sources have reported on the development history of this game. After the lukewarm reception to the Resident Evil 3 remake — which was criticized for its short length and cutting content from the original — Capcom will no doubt want to come out of the gate swinging with Resident Evil 4. The publisher has also confirmed that “many team members” who worked on the Resident Evil 2 remake have returned to develop Resident Evil 4.Platforms
Resident Evil 4 remake marks the first entry in the series coming exclusively to current-gen hardware: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam. It will also be available on the last-gen PS4, which will both be nearly a decade old by the time Resident Evil 4 launches.Trailer
