Resident Evil 4 Remake Will Feature a Reimagined Story

Following the State of Play gameplay reveal of Resident Evil 4 Remake, Capcom’s promotion producer Edvin Edsö shared additional details via the PlayStation Blog.

Edvin shared that this version of the game will feature much of the tense horror-action players remember from the game with a “state-of-the-art quality” suitable for 2023. However, the team is focused on preserving the essence of the original game and plans to provide a familiar experience that fans of the series remember. Still, they want to offer a fresh new feeling with additional story elements. This is a “reimagining” of the storyline of the game while keeping the essence of the direction with modernized graphics and updated controls.

The story begins six years after the disaster in Racoon City. The president recruited Leon S. Kennedy to rescue his kidnapped daughter. He ends up in a European village, but something is wrong with the villagers. As more information is revealed, there’s definitely something wrong with this place.

Resident Evil 4 Remake is scheduled to release on March 23, 2023, with additional PSVR2 content in development.
