Capcom gave survival horror fans a detailed look at the next year Resident Evil 4 remake on Thursday during its Resident Evil showcase, which reinforces that the fourth mainline Resident Evil game remains one of the best (and weirdest) entries in the franchise. A new trailer also offered a glimpse of what’s new Resident Evil 4‘s against Ada Wong, Ashley Graham, The Merchant, Father Bitores Mendez and that creepy little weirdo Ramon Salazar.
During the trailer and new gameplay footage shown in the Resident Evil Showcase, Capcom highlighted the changes Resident Evil 4‘s fearsome Ganados swarming and flanking our hero Leon S. Kennedy in a new way. But Leon’s trusty roundhouse kick and chainsaw parrying knife – and his ingenuity in setting a raging bull on fire! – show he can still hold his own against torch- and pitchfork-wielding mobs.
The merchant out Resident Evil 4 is also here, asking again what you buy and what you sell – in the case of the remake, the latter now contains gems that players can pawn to buy upgrades, weapons, and other items. New footage also shows Leon’s briefcase, which players can play some inventory Tetris in.
Resident Evil 4 is headed to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X on March 24, 2023. In the meantime, you can check out some pictures of the newcomer’s cast RE4 in the gallery below.
