Resident Evil 4 Remake Reimagined Storyline

During a PlayStation State of Play, a remake of Resident Evil 4 was announced. This featured a brief look at recreated environments, like the village seen at the start of the game, and character designs. However, Capcom has opened an official website for the Resident Evil 4 remake, which reveals that the game will also see a “reimagined” storyline. While it’s clear that certain character designs have been modified for the remake, with Ashley, Ada, and Luis appearing briefly in the trailer, this won’t be the only change made. [Thanks, AestheticGamer/Dusk Golem!] The website states that the Resident Evil 4 remake will see a reimagined storyline, it will also feature more modernized gameplay elements. However, Capcom has yet to reveal how any of this will manifest. The trailer simply provided a glimpse into how the iconic starting area in Resident Evil 4 has been slightly modified for the remake. You can take a look at screenshots of the Resident Evil 4 remake below.

On Twitter, the official Japanese Resident Evil account stated that the trailer shown at the State of Play was just a teaser trailer. This means an extended version of the trailer will potentially appear in near future. The Resident Evil 4 remake will release for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC on March 24, 2023.
