What can you say about Resident Evil 4 that hasn’t been said a thousand times already? It’s one of the defining games of the Gamecube and PS2 era, and few would argue against it being one of the greatest video games ever. The fact that it’s been re-released for pretty much every console and platform since its launch is a testament to how timeless it is.
A new edition of Resident Evil 4 is set to launch on 24 March and unlike the last 18 years of releases, this version of the game is a remake instead of a remaster. It follows on from the recent run of RE-makes, including the great Resident Evil 2 and the good-if-you-can-get-it-on-sale Resident Evil 3.
In Resident Evil 4, you play as Leon S. Kennedy, who is on a mission to rescue the US president’s daughter after she’s kidnapped. Leon’s hunt leads him to a rural Spanish town and things get a bit complicated when he discovers that it’s under the control of a cult that plans to use a mind-controlling parasite to take over the world.
If you’ve never played the previous Resident Evil games, don’t worry. Resident Evil 4 is pretty welcoming for people new to the franchise. “Leon doesn’t like zombies” is pretty much all you need to know.
A short demo was released earlier this month, which was received pretty positively, and early reviews are calling it one of the best games of 2023, living up to the high bar set by the original.
