Capcom has confirmed that development has started on a PSVR 2 version of the upcoming Resident Evil 4 remake, and owners of the game will be getting it as a free DLC.
The Resident Evil 4 remake has been highly anticipated after the excellent remake of Resident Evil 2, and the slightly-less-excellent-but-pretty-good Resident Evil 3 remake. Resident Evil 4 isn’t even out yet – it’s set to release on March 24, 2023 – but that hasn’t stopped Capcom from revealing some post-launch content for the game. The PS5 version of the Resident Evil 4 remake is getting free DLC in the form of an exclusive PSVR 2 mode.
Capcom’s Japanese Resident Evil account @BIO_OFFICIAL announced the news by saying that a VR version has started development, and to stay tuned for more details. The account later followed this up by confirming that VR mode will be distributed as free DLC for PS5 on its PSVR 2 headset. There is no mention of Meta Quest 2 or other VR platforms, but considering the VR modes for Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Resident Evil Village are exclusive to PlayStation platforms, it’s probably safe to assume this is the case for Resident Evil 4.
