Resident Evil 4 is completely remastered in a PS5 version. Important news announced at Sony’s recent State of Play and which will delight fans of the franchise.
Originally released in 2005, Resident Evil 4 quickly became one of the most cult episodes of Capcom’s famous franchise. Between its gray and sinister atmosphere, its plot close to the horror thriller, and its unforgettable bosses, it is difficult not to place it on one of the highest steps of the podium of Resident Evil games. However, in 2022, Resident Evil 4 will soon celebrate its seventeenth candle. A figure that does not really rejuvenate us, and neither does the game. The good news of the day is that Resident Evil 4 will be offered a full remake, announced at Sony’s State of Play in June. The opportunity to dive back into the horrors of the Spanish forests in March 2023, in 4K 60fps, and with Leon more beautiful than ever. We will explain everything to you.
A trailer, a blog article, that’s what Sony offered us to announce Resident Evil 4. As we can see in this rather breathtaking trailer, the game has completely had a makeover. Note that we are talking here about a remake, and not a remaster. Capcom therefore continues its dynamic of re-offering us some of the most legendary titles in its collection. After Resident Evil 2 and 3, it’s the turn of four to rise from their graves to disrupt our nights. A game that we will find completely remodeled and readapt to gaming standards in 2023. Capcom has also spoken about this new project:
“Once again, our game is developed to reach the heights of the survival-horror genre in 2023, while preserving the essence of the original game. Our goal is to keep the game familiar to fans of the series, while bringing a fresh twist to it. To do this, we’re reimagining the story while retaining the heart of its making, modernizing the graphics and updating the gameplay.“
In addition to providing us with the first images of Resident Evil 4 Remake, the State of Play also offers us its release date. The game will hit retailer shelves on March 24, 2023, and will also be released on PC and Xbox Series. A title exclusively reserved for new generations of consoles, unfortunately leaving aside PS4 and Xbox One owners. It will of course be found on PC and on Steam, like its predecessors. So, ready to go to the rescue of the daughter of the President of the United States in the confines of the sinister Spanish countryside?
