On the whole, it has remained relatively quiet about the Resident Evil 4 remake, which was only announced a few days ago. Director Ysuhiro Ampo and producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi said something about the reinterpretation of the classic from 2005 at the showcase, but there was no real gameplay to see. However, the two developers emphasized that they wanted to reinforce the original’s key feelings of loneliness and fear of opponents. The release of the remake is scheduled for March 24, 2023.
The comprehensive Gold Edition of the current part Resident Evil Village has now been announced.
