Insiders have been teasing a full-blownResident Evil 4remake for quite some time, and while Capcom hasn’t actually announced the project yet, the ransomware leak pretty much let the cat out of the bag. Details on what exactly theResident Evil 4remake will entail have been hard to come by with Capcom keeping an otherwise tight lid on the game, but a new report from a reputable insider sheds some light on what fans can expect.
Imran Khan of Fanbyte has published a new report on theResident Evil 4remake, offering details on what they know about the project. According to the report, theResident Evil 4remake will be making some big changes, taking inspiration from theRE4betas and looking to be “spookier,” with the iconic village scene from the beginning of the game now said to be taking place at nighttime. For those unfamiliar withResident Evil 4’s development, the team at Capcom created a number of beta versions that were eventually discarded, including some that featured more supernatural threats and a “hook man.”

Other changes will involveResident Evil 4’s side content, specifically theAda Wongcampaigns Assignment: Ada and Separate Ways. Fans can expect the Assignment: Ada and Separate Ways side content fromResident Evil 4to get combined into a single package with the remake, assuming that the report is accurate, and for other side characters to be more fleshed-out.
The report also details some of the behind-the-scenes information on theResident Evil 4remake, addressing reports thatRE4remake development was having some difficulty. If the report is to be believed, theResident Evil 4remake was being developed by M-Two, the internal studio responsible for theResident Evil 3remake, but plans changed afterRE3remake reviewswere weaker than expected. There were also plans to have legendary developer Shinji Mikami, thedirector of the originalResident Evil 4, join the project, but Mikami is said to have declined due to his responsibilities at Tango Gameworks.
This report is further proof that the rumoredResident Evil 4remake exists, but the question is when exactly fans will be able to see the game for themselves. Capcom is reportedly planning to reveal theResident Evil 4remake at some point in 2022, presumably for a 2023 release. Whether or not that comes to pass remains to be seen, butResident Evilfans should keep an eye out for more information on that front.
TheResident Evil 4remake is rumored to be in development.
