Resident Evil 4 Remake is in the final stages of development

The complex remake of the fourth part of Resident Evil is among the most anticipated games of the first half of 2023. And if you are one of those who are looking forward to the release of the game, then the manufacturer has some good news for you.

Resident Evil 4 Remake is in the final stages of development, Yoshiaki Hirabayashi told Famitsu magazine. The title is nearing completion and the team may be thinking of other materials to show us. So nothing should stand in the way of the release that is set to 03/24/2023 Available for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 4. Xbox One version not announced.

If this deadline is met, Capcom will continue its tradition of announcing games right before release rather than publicly delaying them. We love it.

What to expect from the Japanese company next? In the future, this may happen to remake of the first part from this survival horror series, and can also join Resident Evil Code Veronica. This is evidenced by the recent actions of Capcom, when the company took action against fan-made remakes of these games and ordered to stop the development of both projects.

This solution is unusual. Both fan remakes have been in development for over a year and a half. Therefore, there is a lot of speculation that there will be official remakes..

Brynes Croft, who was the lead creator of the Resident Evil Code Veronica remake, explains in the video that Capcom contacted them and asked them to cancel the projects. Be that as it may, the company held back before the official remakes of the second and third, which brings us back to the assumptions.

“Personally, I was a little surprised by Capcom’s decision. But hey, we used their toys to create a free game that became quite popular on the internet. It’s okay, we understand the request to cancel the project” the author stated.

Capcom is supposed to refer to Copyright and license agreements, as fans used many elements from the official remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 3. It’s also possible that the lawyers didn’t like that modders were accepting donations via Kofi and PayPal. The authors themselves believe that their projects have become too famous and that the corporation wanted to avoid confusion with official products.

The first Resident Evil previously received a remastered version with HD textures and other graphical enhancements, but it wasn’t a remake in the same vein as Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3.
