Capcom is reportedly working on a Resident Evil 4 remake alongside Osaka-based developer M-Two, the studio founded by former PlatinumGames head Tatsuya Minami that also contributed to development on the recent Resident Evil 3 remake.

"Multiple development sources" have told VGC that the Resident Evil 4 remake has just entered full production, aiming for an estimated release sometime in 2022. While Capcom's internal teams will be working in conjunction with M-Two on the Resident Evil 4 remake, according to the report, it's alleged that the RE2 remake and Devil May Cry 5 teams will also be contributing.

It's also believed that the Resident Evil 4 remake has the blessing of original game director Shinji Mikami (currently working on GhostWire: Tokyo for Tango Gameworks and Bethesda), who also apparently declined the opportunity to lead the project. VGC reports that Mikami has provided informal advice on the game's direction, however.

With Resident Evil 8 reportedly in the pipeline for 2021 and Resident Evil 4 remake a possibility in 2022, it seems that Capcom will be continuing with annual releases for the series.

Capcom ... After RE VIII, Code Veronica (My favorite overall) remake first then RE4 (my least favorite overall) remake .. All Next Gen only, of course.

Koby

Rather disappointing.

RE4 Remaster was already very nice imo, didn't really need a remake. I was hoping we'd see some of the other games like Code Veronica and Outbreak Files get remakes first.

The Questyen

I'd much rather see remakes of Zero and Code Veronica. Also the original remake is over 15 years old now and plays terribly so I'd like a remake of that also.

If they remake it to where it is back to the zombies and such and not that bs crap they have now, okay then.

.......we'll all still rush out and play this on day one.

This is the only game in the series I really played. Never had the first three as I didn’t have a PlayStation until later and never picked them up when I got it. Got Resident Evil 4 on PS2 though and enjoyed it enough but I don’t think I ever finished it. I played the fifth I think but didn’t like it and never went back to the series. I’ve thought of getting the remakes though.

I think I would actually skip this one. Played the original and the 1st remake already (and beat it several times), I've had my fill of this game.

OldBoy

as much as the Gamecube version is one of my favorite games of all-time, i simply couldn't play it on XBOX. i don't know what it was. just felt off. i'm pretty sure i will still get this as previously mentioned reasons, but it better be some significant improvements in everything including controls for modern system...

The downfall of the Resident Evil franchise. No need to revisit this one, wish they would do Code Veronica

Another original I never played. Is the gameplay the same as RE2 where you run out of ammo easily or is it more forgiving? Does a tyrant stalk you in it at all?

Koby

Similar not quite. You get a lot more ammo (nothing like RE5/6 though), but you'll also still run out at times, especially after some of the harder boss fights. So you don't want to just blow through your ammo needlessly. No tyrant stalks you.

It's not even zombies though in this entry. Well they're kind of like zombies, but they're calls Las Plagas which is like some kind of a parasite.

RE4 was my favorite in the franchise for a long time, but has been pushed out of that spot by RE2 Remake and RE Revelations 2.

The remake may put it back in the top spot depending on how it goes. I hope Capcom doesn't cut a lot of the content out.

Rival11

Sounds good - been hearing nothing but positive things about it.

OldBoy

RE4 was sublime for its time.

OldBoy

that looks amazing. like a whole different game.

dom56

Of course it be on the PS5 and can't even grab one.

beavis69

Was excited to see Resident Evil, then I saw 4. Big no thanks Capcom

mhg83

I wonder if it'll use the engine for Village. That setting was so reminiscent of 4. I wonder if there's a connection somehow?

OldBoy

a year is simply too long to wait.

uteotw

No kidding, for a remake no less.

Rival11

Game looks solid, I know I'll enjoy it. So much Resident Evil goodness coming our way soon.
