Resident Evil 4 is getting a remake, due out in 2022

Following the successes it's seen with the remakes of Resident Evil and Resident Evil 2, it was really only a matter of when Capcom would announce it was giving the remake treatment to Resident Evil 4 - and that was before the company had announced the Resident 3 remake, which came out April 3. Capcom has reportedly gone into 'full production' on a Resident Evil 4 remake release date, a game many consider to be the pinnacle of the series.

VGC has published details on the remake's production, which is being headed up by M-Two, a studio founded by former PlatinumGames boss Tatsuya Minami. Capcom will likely support the development of the Resident Evil 4 remake with assistance from other in-house studios, and the game is reportedly scheduled for release some time in 2022.

The original Resident Evil 4 director Shinji Mikami was approached by Capcom to direct the remake, but he had to turn the role down as he is currently working on GhostWire: Tokyo for Bethesda. However, VGC's sources say he has blessed off on the remake and is providing "informal advice" to the development leads.

Resident Evil 4 remake release date announced

The Resident Evil 4 remake release date is now official. Sony and Capcom revealed that the remake of Resident Evil 4 will launch March 24, 2023, and they showed off a first official look at the horror game's gameplay during Sony's State of Play.

The trailer was, as is typical of the Resident Evil series, oozing with atmosphere, and included shots of Leon Kennedy walking along a trail toward the game's village, as well as a shot from his ride on the train. The game has been completely rebuilt, and the brief shots of gameplay show off some of the new tech Capcom will be bringing to bear in the remake.

We'd heard rumours about a coming reveal for the Resident Evil 4 last year ahead of Gamescom, but it seems Capcom needed a bit more time to get all of las plagas positioned correctly for maximum scares.

Resident Evil 4 system requirements - questionable PC specs

Resident Evil 4 system requirements aren't wretched, but Capcom's PC specs feel somewhat muddled. The developer also bolts separate ray tracing requirements onto the bottom of its specs list, so you'll need to pay attention to avoid performance frights.

Resident Evil 4 Remake easter egg links back pleasingly to RE2

Capcom recently shared some in-depth gameplay ahead of the Resident Evil 4 remake release date, which looks like it will ratchet up the spooks of the horror game series in contrast to the 2005 original, while still paying homage to it. This isn't the only homage in the recent gameplay we saw though, as Capcom has made direct reference to its Resident Evil 2 Remake from 2019 with one minor detail.
