The new game is also getting a demo like previous REmakes before it.
As part of Sony’s February 2023 State of Play showcase, we got a fresh trailer (opens in new tab) for the Resident Evil 4 remake that gives us our first look at the castle and island portions of the revamped shooter. The trailer also revealed that a demo is forthcoming, and that the game’s legendary Mercenaries mode will also be returning.
First off, despite some speculation to the contrary, the RE4 Remake will still feature the original game’s slightly maligned island chapter. After the thrills of the village and castle portions of the game, the island has always been kind of a B+ for me, with the level bolstered by some home run set pieces like Krauser’s boss fight and encounters with the seriously unnerving Regenerators.
The trailer also previews a revamped version of your first encounter with resident Arnold wannabe Krauser.
