Capcom Release New Resident Evil 4 Remake Gameplay
Resident Evil 4 joins Leon S. Kennedy 6 years after his harrowing experience in the biological disaster in Raccoon City. Her unparalleled determination led to her being recruited as an agent reporting directly to the president of the United States.
With experience in various missions, Leon is sent to rescue the president’s daughter who has just been kidnapped. Leon tracks Ashley to a remote European village, but upon making first contact, he discovers an unreasonable spirit gripping the locals.
As the title that set the standard for the subsequent Resident Evil franchise, the original Resident Evil 4 introduced the third-person camera. Now, this survival horror tale returns to deliver a visually stunning modern gaming experience that lives up to the promise of the original release.
Many team members from Resident Evil 2 Remake also returned to dig deeper into the essence of Resident Evil 4 Remake. Fans and newcomers alike can enjoy the new and the familiar, as the RE Engine enhances the design as well as the creative direction of the original game.

Some key features of Resident Evil 4 Remake:

- Modernized Gameplay – The team from Resident Evil 2 Remake returned to build on the franchise’s modern approach to survival horror. Engage in frenzied battles with the villagers of Ganados, explore the European village gripped by madness, and solve puzzles to access new areas and collect useful items for Leon and Ashley’s constant fight for survival.
- Overwhelming Hordes – Face off against hordes of fanatical enemies that threaten to overwhelm Leon with even more diverse attack methods than in the original release.
- Survive on a Knife’s Edge – Years of intense training have taught Leon new ways to wield his knife, helping to even the odds against the unrelenting onslaught of enemies.
